The Good-fellowes resolution of strong Ale , That cures his nose from looking pale . To the tune of , The Countrey Lasse . BE merry my friends , and list a while vnto a merry iest , It may from you produce a smile , when you heare it exprest . Of a young man lately married , which was a boone good fellow , This song in 's head he alwaies carried , when drinke had made him mellow , I cannot go home , nor I will not go home , its long of the oyle of Barly : I le tarry all night for my delight , and go home in the morning early , No Tapster stout , or Vintner fine , quoth he shall euer get One groat out of this purse of mine to pay his masters debt : Why should I deal with sharking Rookes , that seeke poore gulls to cozen , To giue twelue pence for a quart of wine , of ale t will buy a dozen . T will make me sing , I cannot &c. The old renowned Ipocrist and Raspie doth excell , But neuer any wine could yet my honour please to swell . The Rhenish wine or Muskadine , sweet Malmsie is too fulsome , No giue me a cup of Barlie broth , for that is very wholesome , T will make me sing , I cannot &c. Hot waters ar to me as death , and soone the head oreturneth , And Nectar hath so strong a breath Canary when it burneth , It cures no paine but breaks the braine , and raps out oathes and curses , And makes men part with heauie heart , but light it makes their purses , I cannot go home , &c Some say Metheglin beares the name , with Perry and sweet Sider T will bring the body out of frame . and reach the belly wider : Which to preuent I am content with ale that 's good and nappie . And when thereof I haue enough . I thinke my selfe most happy . I cannot go home , &c. All sorts of men when they do meet both trade and occupation , With curtesie each other greet , and kinde humiliation : A good coale fire is their desire , whereby to sit and parly , They le drinke their ale and tell a tale , and go home in the morning early . I cannot go home , &c. Your domineering swaggering blades , and Caualiers that flas●es , That throw the Iugs against the walls , and break in peeces glasses , When Bacchus round cannot be found they will in merriment Drinke ale and beere and cast of care , and sing with one consent . I cannot goe home , &c. The second part . To the same tune , HEre honest ●ohn , to thee I le drinke , and so to Will and Thomas , None of this company I thinke , will this night part from us : While we are here wée 'll ioyne for beere like liuely lads together , We haue a house ouer our heads , a fig for ranie weather . I canno● go home , nor will not go home , its long of the oyle of barly , I stay all night for my delight . and go home in the morning early . Here 's Smug the smith & Ned the Cook , and Frank the fine felt-maker . Here 's Steuen with his silver hooke , and Wat the lustie baker : Here 's Harry & Dick , with Greg & Nicke , here 's Timothy the Tailor , Here 's honest ●it , nere spoke of yet , and George the iouiall Sayler . That cannot &c. Wee 'll sit and bouse and merily chat , and freely we will ioyne For care neere paid a pound of debt , nor shall pay none of mine : Here is but eighteen pence to pay , since euery man is willing , Bring drinke with all the speed you may , wee 'll make it up two shillings . We cannot &c. Let Father frowne , and Mother chide , and Vncle seeke to find vs , Here is good lap here will we bide wee l leaue no drinke behinde vs , A prouerhe old I haue heard told , by my deere dad and grandsire , He was hangd that left his drinke behinde therefore this is our answer , We cannot &c. Iames the Ioyner he hath paid , and Anthony the Glouer , Our hostesse hath a pretty maid , I cannot chuse but loue her : Her pot shee 'll fill , with right good will , here 's ale as browne as a berry , T will make an old woman dance for ioy , and an old mans heart full merry I cannot &c. T will make a Souldier domineere , and brauely draw his rapier , Su●●vertue doth remaine in beere t will make a Cripple caper : Women with men , will now and then sit round and drinke a little , Tom Tinkers wife on Friday night for drinke did pawne her kettle , She could not come home , nor would not come home her belly began to rumble , She had no power to go nor stand , but about the street did tumble . Thus to conclude my verses rude , would some good fellowes here Would joyne toge●her pence a peece to buy the singer beere : I trust none of this company will be herewith offended , Therefore call for your jugs a peece and drink to him that pend it .
