Just like a butt of porter dropp'd

Into an alehouse cellar.

'Then happy Cæsar cry'd "Huzza!

As sure as thou'rt a sinner,

Since here we are, Mac, here we'll stay,

And eat our Christmas dinner.

'"And we will sport and feast away,

In one unbroken revel;

Venus all night, and wine all day,

We'll play the very devil."
