GALLERY OF COMICALITIES—No. CXIII.

When the world was young, as we read in classic page,

The shepherds drank the purling stream, and pass'd the golden age;

For purling streams or golden age folks now don't care a pin,

So that they can raise the brass to keep this age of Gin.

Gin, Gin, sweet, sweet Gin,

There's no drops like Gin.
