And I pledged my host for a right good sort

In bumpers of both, for I never thought

(I should moan and cry, Woe's me!)

But I woke next day with a fearful head,

(Oh that dinner was fine to see!)

And on my chest is a weight like lead,

And I frequently wish that I were dead,

(And I moan and I cry, Woe's me!)

And as for Brown—why the truth to tell—

(Oh that dinner was fine to see!)
