We eat and drank, and drank and eat;
The Chaplain sang a song.
“We drank and eat, we eat and drank,
Till full was every sinner;
And then we thought we’d go on deck,
While Staples laid the dinner.
“We lean’d along the barge’s seats,
Or o’er the bulwarks bent;
We said it was a jolly world,
And folks should be content.
