1 From " The Four Men. " 157 A Tankard of Ale Semi-Chorus Ob, be didn't believe in Adam or Eve He put no faith therein ; His doubts began with the fall of man, And he laughed at original sin. Chorus With my row-ti-dow-ti-oodly-ow, He laughed at original sin. Whereat the Bishop of old Auxerre Germanus was his name He tore great handf uls out of his hair, And called Pelagius shame. And then with his stout episcopal staff So thoroughly thwacked and banged The heretics all, both short and tall, Tha...t they rather had been hanged. Semi-Chorus Oh, he thwacked them hard and he thwacked them long On each and all occasions, Till they bellowed in chorus loud and strong Their orthodox persuasions. Chorus With my row-ti-dow-ti-oodly-ow, Their orthodox persuasions. 158 Wine and Water Now the Faith is old and the Devil is bold Exceeding bold indeed ; And the masses of doubt that are floating about Would smother a mortal creed. But we who sit in a sturdy youth And still can drink strong ale Let us put it away to infallible truth That always shall prevail.
