Catches, canons and drinking songs

to your rude health,

Song: In drinking full bumpers there is no deceit,...

by Jeremiah Clarke . A Catch for Three voices , in D major

Text:

In drinking full bumpers there is no deceit,
then let’s not repine by our setting up late,
come light all your pipes up, no sun we do need,
we can see what we drink by the light of the weed,
may our jolly club ne’er by intruders be broke,
then our sorrows in clouds shall ascend like our smoke.
