Oh, for a bowl of fat Canary

Oh, for a bowl of fat Canary,

Rich Palermo, sparkling Sherry,

Some nectar else, from Juno's dairy;

Oh, these draughts would make us merry!

Oh, for a wench (I deal in faces,

And in other daintier things);

Tickled am I with her embraces,

Fine dancing in such fairy rings.

Oh, for a plump fat leg of mutton,

Veal, lamb, capon, pig, and coney;

None is happy but a glutton,

None an ass but who want money.

Wines indeed and girls are good,

But brave victuals feast the blood;

For wenches, wine, and lusty cheer,

Jove would leap down to surfeit here.
