Taking his beer with old Anarcharsis

Ta-king his beer with old An-ar-char-sis,
quoth sur-ly swash buck-ler "Your wife Sir mine A-is"
"Vous a-vez" quoth sage She's a home-ly brown lass
but af-ter a bum-per or two she may pass
Th' ad-vice was so right it con-verted Sir Knight
who all his life af-ter drank Sat-ur-day Night

Once, Twice, Thrice

Once, Twice, Thrice
I Ju-lia try'd, the scorn ful puss as oft de-ny'd.
And since, and since, I can no bet-ter bet-ter thrive,
I'll cringe to ne'er a bitch a-live.
So kiss my arse, so kiss my arse, so kiss my arse,
so kiss my arse, dis-dain-ful sow!
Good cla-ret, good cla-ret is my mis-tress now.

original is in G minor - which may be fine for us to sing.

As Ro-ger last night
to Jen-ny lay close
he pull'd out his Bud-get
& gave her a dose
of tick-ling no soo-ner
kind Jen-ny did find
but with laugh-ing she Purg'd
both be-fore and be-hind
"Pox take it" quoth Ro-ger
he must him-self be
be-side that gives Pills
Pills a-gainst Wind a-gainst Tide

My man John had a thing that was long,
My maid Ma-ry had a thing that was hai-ry,
my man John put his thing that was long in-to
my maid Ma-ry's thing that was hai-ry,
her thing that was hai-ry,
her thing that was hai-ry,
My man John put his thing that was long in-to
my maid Ma-ry's thing that was hai-ry.

My maid Ma-ry then stirr'd it a-bout
till with stir-ring and stir-ring at length it came out,
but then my man John thrust it in once a-gain,
and knock'd it most stout-ly to make it re-main,
to make it re-main,
he knock'd it most stout-ly
he knock'd it to make it re-main, to make it re-main,
he knock'd it most stout-ly to make it re-main.

But John with much knock-ing so wi-den'd the hole,
that is long thing slip'd out still in-spite of his soul,
'till wea-ry'd and vex'd and with knock-ing grown sore,
cry'd 'A pox take the hole, for I'll knock it no more,
a pox take the hole,
pox take the hole,' 'till wea-ry'd and vex'd and with knock-ing grown sore,
cry'd 'A pox take the hole, for I'll knock it no more.'

Here lies a wo-man, who can de-ny it?
She dy'd in peace, tho' lived un-qui-et.
Her hus-band prays if o'er her grave you walk, you would tread soft,
you would tread soft; for if she wake,
for if she wake she'll talk, tread soft;
for if she wake, she'll talk.

poor O-wen, poor O-wen,
for a while, poor O-wen for a while did lye,
did lye des-pis'd by all, by all that walk'd by,
did lye des-pis'd by all, des-pis'd by all,
all, all, all, by all that walk'd by,
of-ten, of-ten they were heard to cry,
Swan's wine's dry, Swan's wine's dry
of-ten they were heard to cry, were heard,
were heard to cry, were heard to cry,
Swan's wine's dry, Swan's wine's dry
Swan's wine's dry.
One stan-ding by, said let's try,
let's try, let's try,
said let's try, let's try, let's try,
let's try, let's try,
one stan-ding by, one stan-ding by,
said let's try, let's try,
then one and all, all one and all went to Cob-webb Hall.
