"Kind friends and companions, come join me in rhyme. Come lift up your voices in chorus with mine! Come lift up your voices all grief to refrain. For we may or might never all meet here again.

Here's a health to the company and one to my lass! Let us drink and be merry all out of one glass! Let us drink us drink and be merry all grief to refrain! For we may or might never all meet here again."
