From the Office at Copper-nose-hall , near the Red-face in Small-brain-street . Why should the Drunkard strive his Acts to smother ? Drink runs but from one Hogshead to another .

BY Virtue of a Warrant from the Right Worshipful Sir John Fox-Catcher , Knight and Barronet ; These are to Will and Require you immediately on Sight hereof , to pay one Groat , due for your last Default , in suffering your whole Body , Head and Legs , to be so vehemently seduc'd by the false Doctrine of an inchanting deluding Spirit , that had almost bereav'd you of your Senses ; according to an ancient Order , instituted by the most Noble Guy , Earl of Warwick . For the Receiving whereof , We do Constitute and Appoint , several of our Trustees , in our Name to Claim , Demand , Levy and Receive the Penalty aforesaid . In Case of Refusal , the Offender to be Excommunicated as a Baffler out of all Society and Good-Fellowship , and not receiv'd again under two Groats . The one , For his unadvised medling with the Fox's Tail . The other , For Conteming and Violating these our Orders ; and to be proceeded against by Pot-Law , at Timpling-Court , in Reeling-Street , before us Knights . Sir Ralph Red-Nose , Sir Fardinando Fiery-Face , Esquires . Gabriel Giddy-Brains , Simon Suck-pot ,

The Jovial Companion 's Mirth and Pastime . COme fill us Wine in plenty , We 've Money enough to spend ; I hate to see the Pot empty , a Man can't drink to his Friend ; Then Drawer bring us more Wine , and merrily let it pass ; We 'll drink till our Faces do shine , and he that won't may look like an Ass , And we 'll tell him so to his Face , if he offers to baulk his Glass , For we defy , all such dull Society . 'T is Drinking makes us merry , and Mirth diverts our Care , A Song of Hey down derry , is better than heavy Air : Make ready quickly , brave Boys , and fill up your Glasses higher , For we 'll present with Huzzahs , and merrily all give Fire , Since Drinking 's our Desire , and Friendship we admire ; For here we 'll stay , and ne'r call what 's to pay .
