Catches, canons and drinking songs

to your rude health,

Text: Drink on‥

Characters:

Drink on, ’till night be spent and Sun do shine,
did not the gods give anxious mortals wine
to wash all care and trouble from the heart?
why then so soon should jovial fellows part?
come let this bumper for the next make way,
who’s sure to live, and drink another day?
