T Et's wet the whistle of the Muse,
\ That sings the praise of every Juice,
This House affords for Mortal use,
Which no Body can deny.
Here's Ale of Hull, which 'tis well known,
Kept King and Keyser out of Town,
Now in, will never hurt the Crown,
Which no Body, &c.
Here's Lambeth Ale to cool the Maw,
And Beer as spruce as e'er you saw,
But Mum as good as Man can draw,
Which no Body, &c.
If Reins be loose as some Mens Lives,
Whereat the Purling Female grieves,
Here's stitch-Back that will please your Wives,
Which no Body, &c.
Here's Cyder too, ye little wot,
How oft 'twill make ye go to Pot,
? Tis Red-streak all, or it is not,
Which no Body, &c.
Here's Scholar that has doft his Gown,
And donn'd his Cloak and come to Town,
'Till all's up drink his College down,
Which no Body, &c.
Here's JVorth-dovm, which in many a Case,
Pulls all the Blood into the Face,
Which blushing is a sign of Grace,
Which no Body, &c.
