by Henry Purcell . A Catch for Three voices , in D minor

Text:

Here’s a health, pray let it pass about,
a health that ne’er shall cease till all our wine is out,
therefore drink away and never let it stand,
but ply it closely round, from hand to hand,
and eagerly, and bravely with courage thus pursue it,
for ’tis a health to honest ruddy Roger Hewett.
