Then bring me a goblet from Bacchus's hoard,
The largest and deepest that stands on the board ;
I'll fill up a brimmer, and drink to the fair,
'Tis the thirst of a lover, and pledge me who dare!

SONG.

Contented I am, and contented I'll be;
For what can this world more afford,
Than a girl that will sociably sit on my knee,
And a cellar that's plenteously stor❜d?'

See! my vault door is open, descend ev'ry guest,
Tap the cask, for the wine we will try;
"Tis as sweet as the lips of your love to your taste,
And as bright as her cheeks to your eye.

In a piece of slit hoop I my candle have stuck,
'Twill light us each bottle to hand;

The foot of my glass for the purpose I've broke
For I hate that a bumper should stand.

Sound that pipe-'tis in tune, and the binns are well

fill'd,

View that heap of Champaigne in the rear ;

Those bottles are Burgundy, see how they're pil'd,

Like artillery, tier over tier.

My cellar's my camp, and my soldiers my flasks,
All gloriously rang'd in review;

When I cast my eyes round, I consider my casks
As kingdoms I've got to subdue.

'Tis my will when I die, not a tear shall be shed,
No hic jacet be grav'd on my stone;

But pour on my coffin a bottle of red,
And say that my drinking is done.

Second

END OF THE TE VOLUME.

INDEX TO VOL. I.

AURORA, now summon's the lads of the course.
An honest tar, and fresh from sea.

A bankrupt in trade, fortune frowning on shore.
A lass was left to my care

Ask you who is singing here.

A poor little gypsey, I wander forlorn.

A plague on those musty old lubbers.

A little boy,a Savoyard

A sailor I was born and bred

Ah, could my flowing tears avail
Ajolly miller, blithe I sing

A British sailor is my dad

As I walk'd thro' the Strand so careless gay

As I walk'd out one May summer morning
A Pirate's life's a voyage of glee

Again the willing trump of fame

Come, buy poor Sally's wooden ware.

Contented I am, and contented I'll be

Daddy Neptune one day to freedom did say

By my mother t'was said and by me t'was believ'd
Bright chanticleer proclaims the dawn
Behold the man that is unlucky

Begone, dull care, I pr'y thee begone from me
Ben Bowsprit I am, and a true jolly Boy
Beneath this broad oak, not a better to show
Britannia's sons, attend my call

Come hasten, my hearties, to true honest Ned.
Could I conquer the passion of love.

Come Royal George, and all thy court.

Come away pretty maids

Come rouse my brave sportsmen
Come thou soul reviving cup

Come cross my hand, my art surpasses

Cease, fair ladies, cease bewailing

Come, haste to the wedding

Dear is my little native vale.

Dear Nancy I've sail'd the wide world all around
Down by the River there grows a green willow
Dick Dock, a tar at Greenwich moor'd
Dear Tom, this brown jug

Ere Emma's fair form first attracted my view
Eliza once was fair and young

Escap'd with life in tatters.

From the County of Cork, near Dublin I came

From the white blossom'd Sloe, my dear Cloe requested

From dad and mam's society

Go search the world round and about

Gin ye meet a bonny lassie

Had Neptune, when first he took charge of the sea
How sweet in the woodlands

Happy were the days, from infancy advancing

Harry came to me last week

How various the blushes that tint the cheek

149

Her mouth with a smile

If ever a sailor was fond of good sport

How blest was I when nature smil'd

How sweet when the nightingale
His sparkling eyes were dark as jet

How mild in the ruby pale chastity flushes
Habbakuk's my name, it's well to my friends
How stands the glass around

How cruel are the parents

In Britain, the soil that true liberty yields
I've carried arms through lands a far
In the rough blast heaves the billow

In a cottage I live and a cot of content

I'm jolly Jack Maintop-mast, call'd jolly Jack of Dover
In early youth, to fear a stranger

In a vessel of my own I have oft ta'en a trip

In the garden of love, like the garden of Flora

I have a silent sorrow here

I've loved many a maiden fair

It chanc'd one day that a crow so black

I sigh for a maid, and a sweet pretty maid

If pity, sweet maid, ever dwelt in thy breast

I sail'd in the ship, Duke of Clarence

In April, when primroses paint the sweet plain
I rise with the morn, contemplate the sun

I am a physical snob, Sirs

If I live to grow old

I'm as smart a lad as you'd wish to see

[merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][ocr errors][ocr errors][merged small]

Let town bred belles, elate with pride

Left his friends and his home

In the dead of the night

I've sail'd the world round

Life's like a ship in constant motion

Little Jane of the mead had a lover so fine.

Stay, Lady, stay, for mercy's sake

See the Park throng'd with beauties, the tumult begun

Some pity afford to a poor soldier's daughter

Stand to your guns, my hearts of oak
