And that I'm sure's a reason fair,
To fill my glass again.
And that I'm sure's a reason 4airi
To fill my glass again.
The Farmer.
Here's to each jolly fellow,
That loves to be mellow,
Attend unto me and sit easy j
For a bottle in quiet,
My boys, let us try it,
For dull thinking will make a man crazy :
Whilst here I am king,
Let us laugh, dance, and sing ;
Let no mortal appear as a stranger;
But shew me the ass
That refuses his glass,
And I'll order him grass in a manger,
Lai de lal, &c.
By reaping and mowing,
By ploughing and sowing,
Dull nature supplies me with plenty ;
I've a plentiful board,
And a cellar well stor'd,
And my garden supplies me with dainties
I have land, I have bowers,
I have fruits, I have flowers,
And I'm here as Justice of Quorum ;
And that I'm sure's a reason fair,
To fill my glass again.
And that I'm sure's a reason 4airi
To fill my glass again.
The Farmer.
