Catches, canons and drinking songs

to your rude health,

Item: Come let us drink, ’tis is vain to think like...

by by Mr. H. Purcell. . For Three voices, in C major

Song: Come let us drink, ’tis is vain to think like...

Come, come, let us drink, let us drink, let us drink, let us drink, 'tis in vain to think, like Fools in Grief or Sadness, let our Money fly and our Sorrows die, all Worldy care is Madness,
But Wine, wine, wine, wine, wine, and good Cheer will in spite of our fear, inspire our hearts with Mirth Boys, the time we live, to wine, to wine let us give, since all, since all must turn to Earth Boys.
hand, hand about, hand, hand about, hand, hand about ye Bowl, the delight of my Soul, and to my hand, to my hand commend it, a Fig, a Fig for Chink, 'twas made to buy drink, and before we go hence we'll spend it.
