To sing a song, or crack a joke,
You may repair across the green,
Where nought is heard, though much is seen;
Then laugh, and drink, and smoke away,
And but a moderate reckoning pay.
BEER-JUG INSCRIPTION.
Come, my old friend, and take a pot,
But mark me what I say:
Whilst thou drink’st thy neighbor’s health.
Drink not thy own away.
