Give him strong drink until he wink

by (1744–1838)

Listen in the reader

“Give him strong drink until he wink, That’s sinking in despair; And liquor good to fire his blood, That’s prest with grief and care: There let him bouse, and deep carouse, With bumpers flowing o’er, Till he forgets—his loves or debts, And minds his griefs no more.”
