Song: The Macedon youth left behind him this truth:...

The Macedon Youth left behind him this truth that nothing was done with much thinking He draink and he fought and he got what he sought and the World was his own by fair drinkin He wash'd his great Soul in a plentiful Bowl he cast away Trouble and Sorrow his Mind did not run of what was to be done for he thought of today not to morrow
