Then meet me &c.

Pastry may do for the gay,

The thoughtless, the young, and the free,

But there’s something in cold beef, they say,

More tempting to you and to me;

Then remember, be sure to be there,

If good eating and drinking you prize,

You’ve liv’d the last fortnight on air,

I can tell by those hollow-sunk eyes.

Then meet me, &c.
