A Catch

12. Hang sorrow, and cast away care,
   And let us drink up our Sack:
  They say ’tis good to cherish the blood,
   And for to strengthen the back:
  Tis Wine that makes the thoughts aspire,
   And fills the body with heat;
  Besides ’tis good, if well understood [p. 69.]
   To fit a man for the feat;
    Then call, and drink up all,
     The drawer is ready to fill:
    Pox take care, what need we to spare,
     My Father has made his will.

[p. 70.]
