By the immortal MARLBOROUGH,
Ever invincible! then you and I,
My Thirsis, shar’d the common joy.
Blenheim and Ramillies were then our song,
The day tho’ short, the night was long,
Till both with mighty claret glow’d,
And tipsy, to our beds were shew’d.
We may also very decently get drunk with a friend we have not seen a long while.
Here ’tis——O welcome, flask divine,
How bright does thy vermillion shine!
