It's time to end this lay;
Tho' I could go on rhyming for a year
In praise of Beer,
And think it sport;
But many folks I know like something short.
BEER CUPS.
These cups should always be made with good sound ale, but not too strong; and should invariably be drank from the tankard, and not poured into glasses, as they are generally more agreeable to the taste than to the sight, and it is imperative that they should be kept hot.
Hot Ale Cup.
To a quart of ale, heated, add two wine-glasses of gin, one wine-glass of sherry, two tablespoonfuls of American bitters, plenty of cloves and cinnamon, and four tablespoonfuls of moist sugar.
