With the Caballine Spring of a pot of good ale. [? Castalian]
And the Musician of any condition,
It will make him reach to the top of his Scale:
It will clear his pipes, and moisten his lights,
If he drink alternatim a pot of good ale.
The Poet Divine, that cannot reach Wine,
Because that his money doth many times faile,
Will hit on the vein to make a good strain,
If he be but inspir’d with a pot of good ale.
For ballads Elderton never had Peer;
