Hence away, loathed Melancholy!

Friends around again we see:

Banish care, and let's be jolly,

Eating muffins, drinking tea.

Round the social board we'll cluster,

(That which names from tea I mean),

And wash down the festive "buster"

With deep draughts of Black and Green.

What care we for Beer-kings' prices?

Or the bitters of the vat?
