And Friends again straight with a pot of good ale.
And Physic will favour ale, as it is bound,
And be against Beere both tooth and naile;
They send up and down, all over the town
To get for their Patients a pot of good ale.
Their Ale-berries, cawdles, and Possets each one,
And Syllabubs made at the Milking-pale,
Although they be many, Beere comes not in any,
But all are composed with a pot of good ale.
And in very deed the Hop’s but a Weed,
