R Oome for a lusty lively Lad, dery dery downe, That will shew himselfe blyth be he ne're so sad, dery dery downe, That cryes a fig for poverty And takes all troubles patiently, Will spend what he gets, And drinke more then he eates, That never meanes to vary From good fellowship free, If thou such a one be. Ile drinke to thee kinde Harry. He that will freely call for drinke, dery dery downe. And never repine to part with his chinke, dery dery downe. That will laugh and sing in the midst of care, Though sorrow force him to despayre. That scornes to brawle For trifles small, but himselfe doth quietly cary, That no worser word From his lips will afford, then heres to thee kinde Harry.
He that's a greedy Cormorant, dery dery downe, That hardly allowes his guts pravant, dery dery downe. That is so loath, to part with his pelfe That he will not bestow a Groat on himselfe. Let such a hog Lap whey like a dog, while we drinke good Canary, And live in content, And blyth meriment, heres to thee honest Harry. He that is an idle Sharke, dery dery downe, That lives by shifts, and will not worke, dery dery downe. That like a rascall base and rude Into any company will intrude, That though he have mony Will scant spend a peny, at home let such a one tarry, While we sit here Wee'll keepe the score cleere, and heres to thee kinde Harry.
<seg n="1" rend="left"><hi rend="italic">The second part to the same tune.</hi> </seg>
H Ee that is a wenching knave dery dery downe That for a whore his mony doth save dery dery downe, That like a fond fantasticke Asse Will spend a crowne upon his Lasse, And yet hee's unwilling To spend a shilling with us in rich Canary, Let him packe to a wench That can teach him French, come, heres to thee honest Harry. He that is a pilfering theefe, dery dery downe, That steales to give his corps releefe, dery dery downe. That though he can himselfe maintaine By some honest trade, he will take no paine. I wish with my hart, That the Hangman in's cart all such to the Gallowes may cary. For if all theeves were gone, Then we should keepe our owne, and heres to thee brave Harry. He thats a fawning Sycophant, dery dery downe, And seeks with tales our eares to inchant dery dery downe. Who gives me pleasant words to my face, And railes at me in another place. And sayes right with his tongue, When his heart meaneth wrong, and his thoughts doe poyson cary, Let no such stay with us Who will flatter us thus, heres to thee true hearted Harry.
He that will boast without desert, dery dery downe, And seekes to applaud his strength or art, dery dery downe, That will brag and vaunt to simple men, As though he were one could fight with ten Yet being tryde He will onely but chide, his words and his deeds doe vary. But I like that blade, Who will doe as he said and heres to thee brave Harry. He that professeth himselfe a Souldier, dery dery downe, Yet never bore armes on his shoulder, dery dery downe. That prates of many bands he hath seene, Yet out of the Land he hath never beene. He hath learn'd to speak Dtuch And thats as much as he desires to cary. Some say in Kent street Many Dutch you may meet, but heres to honest Harry. Thus being honest joviall blades, dery dery downe, Let us be as mery as the maids, dery dery downe. But such as we have nam'd before, Them and their dealings we abhorre. Now tis time to depart Let us drinke up this quart. and then no longer wee'll tary Each man pay the shot, What falls to his lot. but I will pay for Harry.
