The ale house


& when the night draws on each mirthfull lout 
The ale house seeks & sets it in a roar 
& there while fidlers play they rant about 
& call for brimming tankards froathing oer 
For 'bacco smoke yed hardly see the door 
No stint they make of 'bacco & of beer 
While money lasts they shout about for more 
Resolvd to keep it merry when its here
