When man was placed on earth
He was naked at his birth,
But God a robe of reason round him threw;
First he learned to blow his nose,
Then he learned to make his clothes,
And then he learned to bake and brew.
Then, quaff, boys, &c.
If it's wrong to press the vine—
Thus to make the rosy wine,
Then it must be wrong to crush the wheaten grain;
