Remarkably partial to anything nice,

Nought that was good to him came amiss,

Whether to eat, or to drink, or to kiss!

Especially ale—

If it was not too stale

I really believe he'd have emptied a pail;

Not that in Wales

They talk of their ales;

To pronounce the word they make use of might trouble you,

Being spelt with a C, two R's and a W.'
