Good Advice
A Song Set and Sung by Mr Leveridge at the New Play-house.

Leave off this foolish prating
talk no more of Whig and Tory
Butfill your Glass
round let it pass
the Bottle stands before you
fill it up to the Top
let the Night with mirth be Crown'd
drink about
See it out
Love and Friendship still go round.

(2)
If Claret be a Blessing
This night devote to Pleasure
Let worldly cares
And State Affairs
Be thought on at more Leisure
Fill it up etc.

(3)
If any is so Zealous
To be a party Minion
Let him drink like me
We'll soon agree
And be of one Opinion
Fill it up etc. ---
