Come Hither: A Collection of Rhymes and Poems for the Young of All Ages

by Unknown

But bring us in good ale!

Bring us in no befe, for there is many bones,

But bring us in good ale, for that goth downe at ones,

And bring us in good ale!

Bring us in no bacon, for that is passing fat,

But bring us in good ale, and gife us enought of that;

And bring us in good ale!

Bring us in no mutton, for that is often lene,

Nor bring us in no tripes, for they be seldom clene,

But bring us in good ale!
