Volume 5 — A Song. Set by Mr. Jeremy Clark.
Reading edition
[Listen]
WHILE the Lover is thinking, With my Friend I’ll be Drinking And with Vigour pursue my Delight; While the Fool is designing, His fatal confining, With Bacchus I’ll spend the whole Night: With the God I’ll be Jolly, Without Madness or Folly. Fickle Woman to Marry Implore, Leave my Bottle and Friend, For so Foolish an end, When I do, may I never Drink more.
