The Sultan and Crommet.
And even Mahomat,
They all take a ſup in their turn.
The Quakers will bid you from drink abſtain,
By yea, and by nay, tis a fault in the vain :
Yet ſome of the Broadbrims will get to the ſtuff,
And tipple away. till they've tippled enough.
For Stiff-rump and Steady,
And Solomon's Lady,
Would all take a ſup in their turn.
The Germans will ſay, they can drink the moſt;
The French and Italians will alſo boaſt:
Hibernia's the country, for all their noiſe,
For generous drinking, and hearty boys :
There each jovial fellow,
Will drink till he's mellow,
And take off his glaſs in his turn.
A NEW IMPROVED
TOUCH ON THE TIMES.
Now here's to every honeſt heart,
the poor man's friend, and a' that,
For feags I mean to tak their part,
while I ha'e breath to draw that,
For a' that, an' a' that,
I'll tell the truth, an' a' that;
We're like to ha'e a kittle time,
for want o' trade, an' a' that.
