Rhymes of Northern Bards / Being a Curious Collection of Old and New Songs and Poems, Peculiar to the Counties of Newcastle upon Tyne, Northumberland, and Durham

by Unknown

Beside wasting powder and shot:

Let us have a good drink at the fancy,

So, landlady, fill us the pot.

Here’s the gentleman’s health that contriv’d it,

For he is a right honest soul;

We’ll laugh and we’ll merrily sing,

When we’re over a full flowing bowl.

Fal lal, &c.

[70] Mr Peter Confett.
