The young Gallants Tutor Or, An Invitation to Mirth.  

Here is an A●●dote against allsadness,  
And a sweet Motive unto joy and gladness,  
For mirth dorth to our lives such pleasure bring▪  
It makes us live as happy as a King,  
From our fore fathers we this Maxim borrow,  
An ounce of Mirth is worth a pound of Sorrow,   
Tune of, The Delights of the Bottle. With Allowance,  
 
 

AWay with the causes of ri●●es and ca●es,  
That po●son our spirits ● shooten our rears  
Be that doth sit ●●●ing o's ill gotten wealth  
It pleaseth his fa●c● but ruins his health,  
Then perish all Fops by sobriety dulled  
while he that is merry reigns Prince of the world.   

Mirth cheri●h● l●●● in the old and the young,

A thousand to one but in time ●e'l grow mad,  
Then perish all fops by sobriety dulled  
While he that is merry reigns Prince of the worl●   

He that's but endued with one scruple of wit,  
Can tell you that mirth like a Monarch doth sit,  
Enthroned in a palace of pleasure and ease,  
To welcome young Gailants and Ladies to please  
Then perish all fops by sobriety dulled,  
While he that is merry reigns Prince of the worl●   
 

The life of Canary doth cherish our Souls▪  
Whilst that we carouse it in plentiful bowls  
It fills us with courage both active and free,  
And fits us for service in every degree,  
Then perish all fops by sobriety dulled,  
While he that is merry ●●igns Prince of the world   

We keep Lady's company just when we please,  
And Kevel like princes in pleasure and ease  
We pass the time merril● day after day,  
And month after month till the year slides away

While he that is merry reigns prince of the world   

The mighty god Cupid and Ba●●us agree,  
To crown with delight all the noble and free,  
When Venus grows froward because she's so fair  
We then to the tents of great Bacchus repair,

while he that is merry reigns Prince of the world.   

With Love and good liquor our hearts we do cheer  
Can●ry and Claret Cock Ale and March beer,  
Iced were not for these we should have a dull sense  
Of what shall betid us a hundred year hence,  
Then perish all fops by sobriety dulled,  
While he that is merry reigns prince of the world   

The joys of good fellowship keeps us alive,  
The more we do fuddle the better we thrive,  
To Frolic all day makes us sleep well at night,

While he that is merry reigns prince of the world   
 

Flint Glasses and Bottles are pleasant to view  
To see the wine sparkle and of a brisk hue,  
Will tempt a dull miser as much as his gold  
But that he's afraid to be poor when he's old,

While he that is merry reigns prince of the world   

What strange opposition in nature we find,  
That some all their life time to mirth are inclined  
Whilst others sit mopcing and ned's must confess  
They have no enjoyment of what they possess,  
Then perish al● Fops by sobriety dulled,  
While he that is merry reigns prince of the world   

The pleasant debauches of love are most sweet,  
When passion and Guineyes with beauty we meet  
But yet the good sack is of noble renown,  
And pleases as well as the Miss of the Town,  
Then perish all Fops by sobriety dulled,  
while he that is merry reigns Prince of the world   

Since Tippling and kissing doth now rule the roast  
Of freedom and pleasure we bravely can boast,  
Whilesche that is sullen and knows no delight,  
Oppressed is with sorrow by day and by night,  
Then perish all Fops by sobriety dulled,  
While he that is merry reigns Prince of the world   

Then for to conclude since that mirth doth prevail  
To mig●t●●ack bottle we'll drink without fail,  
Le's hug our delight that the health may go round  
In which all our sorrows ● cares we will drown●  
Then perish all Fops by sobriety dulled  
While he that is merry reigns Prince of the wo●●●
