(1) IF Sorrow the Tyrant invade thy Breast, hale out the foul Fiend by the Lug the Lug, Let no thought of to morrow disturb they rest, but banish dispair with a Mug, a Mug: If business unluckily goes not well, let the fond Fools their affection hug; To shew our Allegiance we'll go to the Bell, and banish dispair with a Mug, a Mug. (2) If thy Wife proves not one of the best, the best, and admits of no time but to think, to think, Or the weight of thy fore-head bow down thy crest, diverty thy dull demon with drink, with drink, If thy Mistress then proveth both peevish and coy, ne'r pine, ne'r pine at the wanton Pug, But find out a fairer and kinder then she, and banish dispair with a Mug, a Mug. (3) For any Coy Mistress do not complain, thou hast no just reason at all to grieve, For Mault I declare is a noble Grain, that soon will thy drooping Spirits releave: Far better than any Doctor in Town, by vertue of any detestable drug, When liquor of life is got into the Crown, we'll wash away cares with a Mug, a Mug. (4) Boys, Money was made to fly like the dust, yet Misers will hoard it we understand, Until it is almost consumed with rust, but we'l keep it moving from hand to hand: Creating a trade from morning till night, let droans in their Mistresses arms lye snug, Let this be the object of your delight, to kiss the sweet Lips of a Mug, a Mug.
(5) Ye Gallants be jolly, and ne'r repine, for this is the brave Golden Age we see, If thou'lt be thy Shilling, then i'le be mine, there's none shall be merrier Lads than we; This Liquor is good as I am a Man, therefore I resolve to take 'tother tugg, You shall do the like, good Sir, if you can, to fathom the depth of a Mug, a Mug; (6) Let worldly affairs ne're cause thee to fret, i'de have e'ry one as merry as we, Prove Sorrow and Care did ever pay debt, and then i'le allow you your liberty; But over-much Care has made many Mad, now he that desires the same to hug, I wish him as much as ever man had, while we are enjoying a Mug, a Mug. (7) They're Fools that will pinch to gain an estate; such humours hall never trouble my head, Because I declare I perfectly hate my Friends should e're go to Law when I'm dea[d] For Houses, or what to me might belong, the Old from the young endeavours to tug, Because there is noe shall suffer the wrong, I'll aways admire a Mug, a Mug. (8) One reason I value it at this rate, it does not deprive the house of much stock, Nor is there the danger that is in Plate, besides our Liquor as Cool as a Rock, Flows from it as if the pleasantest Spring, therefore like a Friend the same I will hug, And always will drink a good Health to the King out of my beloved the Mug, the Mug.
