Are goodly gifts for me;

For my own true love a half-gallon pot

Filled to the brim with tea.

For thee a bloater from Yarmouth town

(Fresh, O fresh, is a fish of the sea!);

For me some beef, and, to wash it down,

A pint of porter (ah me! ah me!).

Sherbet and zoedone for thee

(Teetotal drinks have taking names!);

A cup of claret and pink for me
