LILLIES Invitation . 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 ose that have had no Coughs , nor Colds , this Winter , to dine with him on Christmas day . Admire ye Mortalls ! strange newes does appear ! You 'r welcome All to Lillies Christmas cheer . Such cheer indeed , as is not to be found , At any Wake or Faire , on English Ground . The Good chear . ALl the varieties that can be got , Plumb-pottage boyled in a Silver pot ! Roast-beef well stuff'd with rosemary : that done , Mince-pies by wholesale - for digestion . And now the first course being well ended Large bouls of wine are presently extended ; Your free Host then begins a health t'y ' all , And swears your welcome : with a conjuring call Commands more wine that you may pledge him , Then Sit down to 'th second course , and too 't agen And after this the liquors run , and they Strongly begin t' appear in Battail ray The brisk ( anary , French both white and red The brave Strongwaters Hartsease Anniseed ; Nay and to make each Genius run the quicker , Nants Brandy will not be a failing liquor . Musick enough with various instrument To give an encrease to your merryment , So taking approbation of the cheer , Considering all things , I think 't is not dear ! The Persons invited . But now the persons that invited are To this good chear I kindly shall declare . Least by mistake there should a difference bee , By takeing all for every body , All are not wisemen , yet all are not fools , Some have sufficient , some insufficient tools So some of all may be approv'd , as guests , And welcome to partake of Lilles feast . But such they needs must be , as must be sure To have not one kind of distemperature All those who have no Coughs , nor Colds nor Ptissick That never had , nor still have need of Physick , May not be call'd or appear to be Partakers of the said variety . So that , free Lilly . ( as I dare express ) Though 's good chear , will have but little Guesse . The Authors advice . Let those that take my Advice , stay behind Least they wish after they 'd been of my minde . For Lilly may perhaps to encrease his praise , With a Cramp Conjuring word the Divel raise , And Hee 'l so tumble and tosse you all : That then You may swear you 'l ne're Dine with Lilly agen .
