SONG CIV.
Tune — The wealthy fool — Page 137,
THE filver moon that mines fo bright,
I fwear, with reafon, is my teacher ;
And if my minute-glafs runs right,
We've time to drink another pitcher.
'Tis not yet day, 'tis not yet day,
Then why mould we forfake good liquor ?
Until the fun-beams round us play,
Let's jocund pum about the pitcher.
They fay that I muft work all day,
And fleep at night, to grow much richer ;
But what is all the world can fay,
Compar'd to mirth, my friend, and pitcher.
'Tis not yet day, &c.
Tho' one may boaft a handfome wife,
Yet ftrange vagaries may bewitch her 5.
Unvex'd I live a cheerful life,
And boldly call for 'tother pitcher.
'Tis not yet day, &c.
I dearly love a hearty man, "^
(Nofneaking milk-fop Jemmy Twitcher)j
Who loves a lafs, and loves a glafs,
And boldly calls for 'tother pitcher.
Tis not yet day, &&,
