Full bumpers of claret went round it is true,

Some drank for vexation till twice they did spew,

I ne’er in my life saw so merry a crew,

As we were when I was in Limbo.

There was Ralph Jackson, the tanner, he came in by chance,

And did chatter and talk like a parrot;

And likewise Will Bulmer was one of our number,

For he had a mind to drink claret.

Full glasses went round till I could not see,

O then they were all willing I should go free;
