Come, landlord, fill the flowing bowl
Until it doth run over
For tonight we'll merry be
Tomorrow we'll be sober

The man that drinketh small beer
And goes to be quite sober
Fades as the leaves do fade
That drop of in October

A man who drinketh strong beer
And goes to bed quite mellow
Lives as he ought to live
And dies a jolly good fellow

But he who drinks just what he likes
And getteth half seas over
Will live until he die perhaps
And then lie down in clover
