When Bibo thought fit from the world to retreat,
As full of champagne as an egg’s full of meat;
He wak’d in the boat, and to Charon he said,
He would be rowed back, for he was not yet dead.
‘Trim the boat, and sit quiet,’ stern Charon replied—
‘You may have forgot—you were drunk when you died!’
A. Ryle and Co., Printers, 2 & 3, Monmouth Court, Seven Dials, and 35,
Hanover Street, Portsea, where upwards of 4000 different sorts of ballads
are continually on sale together with 40 new penny song books.
Tho’ dimple cheeks may give delight
Where rival beauties blossom;
Th’o balmy lips to love invite,
To extacy the bosom.
Yet sweeter far yon summer sky,
Whose blushing tints discloses,
Give me the lustre beaming eye,
The Sun that lights the Roses.
