Me, Punch, and Lord Dalhousie.
Proverbial Philosophy.
By Farthing Tarquhar Mupper, Esq.
Beer, that hath entered my head, and peopled its inner chambers,
The addling outcome of barrels, the dream-inspiring malt and the hop-juice,
Amber-tinged wine of the Briton, with the headache and biliousness after,
Heaven-brewed draught of immortals, oh! sweeter than ever was nectar,
Such extend I unto thee, thou docile child of a pot-house:
Commend thy mouth to the tankard, and grudge not to drink of the liquor,
