Catches, canons and drinking songs

to your rude health,

Text: A health to the nut brown lass‥

Characters:

A health to the nut brown lass
with the hazel eyes,
she that has good eyes
has also good thighs,
let it pass,
as much to the livelier grey,
they’re as good by night as day,
she had has good eyes
has also good thighs,
drink away,
I’ll pledge, Sir,
what ho! some wine here, some wine,
to mine and to thine,
to thine and to mine,
the colours are divine,
but oh! the black eyes, the black,
give me as much again and let it be sack,
she that has good eyes
has also good thighs,
and a better knack.
