A Song upon Ale. I. WHen the chill Sirocco blows , And Winter tells an heavy Tale , When Daws , and Pyes , and Rooks and Crows Sit cursing of the Frosts and Snows , Then give me Ale. II. Ale , in a Northern Rumkin there , Such as will make grim Malkin prate , Makes Valour bourgeon in tall Men , Quickens the Poets Wit and Pen , And laughs at Fate . III. Ale , which the Tinkers hammer steels , And drums it on the clamorous brass , Larrums the Countrey Town and Fields , When Madges kettles out at heels , And torn poor Lass . IV. Ale , which the absent Battle fights , And forms the march of warlike Drum , Disputes of Princes , Laws and Rights , What was , what is , tells Mortal Wights , And what 's to come . V. Ale , which the Beggars Heart up keeps , And equals them to Tyrants Thrones , Which wipes the Eye that over-weeps , And lulls in sweet and gentle sleeps , Our wearied bones . VI. Grand-child of Ceres , Barley's Daughter , Wine 's emulous Sister , if but stale , Ennobling all the Nymphs of Water , Thine half Blood , Grandmother of Laughter , Ah , give me Ale ▪
