Catches, canons and drinking songs

to your rude health,

Song: Ring the bells, and the glasses pull away, he...

by John Blow . For Three voices , in D major

Text:

Ring the bells,
and the glasses pull away,
he that leads, we will set all
the vessels in the house on their heads,
ā€™tis a grand pitcher day,
ler us drink to our power,
weā€™ll have full sixty rounds,
and outdo the Tower,
our King we have again,
now all your pitchers clatter,
and may he, like Gideon,
all his enemies scatter.
