Catches, canons and drinking songs
to your rude health,
Song: Let crystal white wine cheer the drowsy mind,...
Text:
Let crystal white wine cheer the drowsy mind,
’tis claret only leaves a stain behind,
in the use of which we do Bacchus disgrace,
we make the god mortal by painting his face,
he’s not like a god whose image is red,
o’ernight his cheeks blush, in the morning they’re dead.
