n former times we’d Goblins, Fairies, Witches, Ghosts and Sprites,
Who ruled the people’s minds by day, and play’d sad pranks o’ nights;
But now the tales of Ghosts and such the people can’t take in
They won’t believe in Spirits, yet put all their faith in Gin.
Gin, Gin, Gaitskell’s Cordial Gin, &c.
n the Reign of old Queen Bess good eating did prevail,
Her Majesty and all the Court would breakfast on strong ale;
But now through every Court, the folk the fashion to be in,
Would ail all day, unless ’fore breakfast they could take some Gin.
Gin, Gin, renovating Gin, &c.
ld women used to cheer their hearts and found it did agree,
By sometimes taking with a friend a cup too much of tea;
But now they’re much more spirited—for tea don’t care a pin,
And only use their tea pots for a cup too much of Gin.
Gin, Gin, tongue-relaxing Gin, &c.
Gin and Bitters.
