A new Ballad, Sung at Messieurs Brook and Hellier's Club,
at the
Temple-Tavern in Fleet-Street.

SINCE Tom's in the Chair, and e'ery one here

Appears in Gay humour and easie;

Say, why shou'd not I, a new Ballad try,

Bright Brethren o'th' Bottle to please ye.

This Wine is my Theme, this is all on's Esteem,

For Brook and Hellier cannot wrong us;
