Look here, in the light of the aftermath shed,

Say, what do you think of it now?

Oh, you’ve had a gay and a festive debauch

In regions where sanity reels,

With Bacchus, wine-laden, ahead with his torch,

And Nemesis close at your heels.

And little you recked, as the glamour of wine

Smoothed the lines of Life’s puckering brow—

But own up and tell me, old cobbers of mine,

Say, what do you think of it now?
