Volume 5 — A Song in Praise of Punch.
Reading edition
[Listen]
COME fill up the Bowl with the Liquor that fine is, And much more Divine is, Than now a-days Wine is, with all their Art, None here can controul: The Vintner despising, tho’ Brandy be rising, ’Tis Punch that must chear the Heart: The Lovers complaining, ’twill cure in a trice, And Cælia disdaining, shall cease to be nice, Come fill up the Bowl, &c. Thus soon you’ll discover, the cheat of each Lover, When free from all Care you’ll quickly find, As Nature intended ’em willing and kind: Come fill up the Bowl, &c.
