A Song in Praise of the Leather Bottel . Shewing how Glasses and Pots are laid aside , And Flaggons and Noggins they cannot abide ; And let all Wives do what they can , 'T is for the Praise and Vse of Man ; And this you may very well besure , The Leather Bottel will longest endure : And I wish in Heaven his Soul may dwell ; That first devised the Leather Bottel . To the Tune of , The Bottel-maker's Delight , &c.

GOd above that made all things , The Heavens , the Earth , and all therein , The Ships that on the Sea do swim , To keep the Enemies out that none comes in ; And let them all do what they can , 'T is for the Use and Praise of Man : And I wish in Heaven is Soul may dwell , That first devised the Leather Bottel . Then what do you say to those Cans of Wood ? In faith they are , and cannot be good ; For when a Man he doth them send To be filled with Ale , as he doth intend ; The Bearer falleth down by the way , And on the ground the Liquor doth lay ; And then the Bearer begins to ban , And swoars it is long of the Wooden Can ; But had it been in a Leather Bottel , Although he had fallen , yet all had been well : And I wish , &c. Then what do you say to those Glasses fine ? Yes , they shall have no Praise of mine ; For when a Company they are set For to be merry , as we are met ; Then if you chance to touch the Brim , Down falls the Liquor and all therein ; If your Table-cloath be never so fine , There lies your Beer , Ale or Wine : It may be for a small Abuse , A young Man may his Service lose : But had it been in a Leather Bottel , And the Stopple in , then all had been well : And I wish , &c. Then what do you say to these black Pots three ? True , they shall have no Praise of me , For when a Man and his Wife falls at Strife , As many have done , I know , in their Life ; They lay their Hands on the Pot both , And loath they are to lose their Broath ; The one doth tug , the other doth ill , Betwixt them both the Liquor doth spill ; But they shall answer another Day , For casting their Liquor so vainly away : But had it been in the Leather Bottel , They might have tugg'd , till their Hearts did ake , And yet their Liquor no harm could take : They might have rugg'd , till their Hearts did ake : Then I wish , &c. Then what do you say to the Silver Flaggons fine ? True , they shall have no Praise of mine ; For when a Lord he doth them send To be filled with Wine as he doth intend ; The Man with the Flaggon he doth run away , Because it is Silver most gallant and gay : O then the Lord he begins to ban , And swears he hath lost both Flaggon and Man ; There is never a Lord's Serving man , or Groom , But with his Leather Bottel may come : Then I wish , &c. A Leather Bottel we know is good , Far better than Glasses or Cans of Wood , For when a Man is at work in the Field , Your Glasses and Pots no Comfort will yield ; Then a good Leather Bottle standing him by , He may drink always when he is a dty ; It will revive the Spirits and comfort the Brain , Wherefore let none this Bottle refrain : For I wish , &c. Also the honest Sith-man too , He knew not very well what to do , But for his Bottle standing him near , That is filled with good Houshold-beer : At Dinner he sits him down to eat , With good hard Cheese , and Bread or Meat ; Then this Bottle he takes up amain , And drinks and sets him down again ; Saying , Good Bottle , stand my Friend , And hold out till this Day doth end : For I wish , &c. And likewise the Hay-makers they , When as they are turning and making their Hay , In Summer-weather , when as it is warm , A good Bottel full then will do them no harm ; And at Noon-time they sit them down , To drink in their Bottles of Ale nut-brown ; Then the Lads and Lasses begins to tattle , What should we do but for this Bottle ? They could not work if this Bottle were done , For the Day 's so hot with heat of the Sun : Then I wish , &c. Also the Leader , Lader , and the Pitcher , The Reaper , Hedger , and the Ditcher , The Binder , and the Raker , and all About the Bottel's Ears doth fall ; And if his Liquor be almost gone , His Bottel he will part with to none , But says , My Bottel is but small , One Drop I will not part withal : You must go drink at some Spring or Well , For I will keep my Leather Bottel : Then I wish , &c. Thus you may hear of a Leather Bottel , When at it is filled with Liquor full well , Though the Substance of it be but small , Yet the Name of the thing is all . There 's never a Lord , Earl , or Knight , But in a Bottel doth take Delight ; For when he is hunting of the Deer , He often doth wish for a Bottle of Beer : Likewise the Man that works at the Wood , A Bottel of Beer doth oft do him good : Then I wish , &c. Then when this Bottel doth grow old , And will good Liquor no longer hold , Our of the Side you may take a Clout , Will mend your Shooes when they 'r worn out ; Else take it and bang it upon a Pin , It will serve to put many odd Trifles in , As Hinges , Awls , and Candle-ends , For young Beginners must have such things : Then I wish in Heaven his Soul may dwell , That first devised the Leather Bottel .
