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;
