Drinke and be wise Till red Phcebus arise And banish colde care from the good waning year : The Old year he shall dye, mid plenty of cheere. My boyes, come passe Your empty glasse. And fill them with Ale, as the world is of strife And toaste to the widow, the maide and the wife. Come drink success You cannot do less, To the new coming yere, may it be loaded with funne And ne'er bring us worse than the old one has done. 264 THE CURIOSITIES OF Another verse from a good old song specially celebrat...es our theme — Come, help us to raise Loud songs to the praise Of good old England pleasures : To the Christmas cheer, And the foaming Beer. And the buttery's solid treasures. Many pages might be compiled of these old English carols, all in praise of the same theme, the roast beef and good ale of Old England ; but one more quotation must suffice. It is from Poor RobMs Almanack (169s) :- Now, thrice welscome, Christmas ! Which brings us good cheer ; Mince pies and plum-pudding — Strong Ale and strong Beer ; But as for curmudgeons Who will not be free, I wish they may die On a two-legged tree.
