GOod morow neighbour Gamble, Come let you and I goe ramble, Last night I was shot Through the braines with a Pot, and now my stomacke doth wamble: Your Possets and your Caudles, Are fit for babes in Cradles: A piece of salt Hogge, And a haire of the old Dogge is good to cure our drunken Noddles, Come hither mine Host, come hither, Heres two birds of a feather, Come hither mine Host With a Pot and a Tost, and let us be merry together. I rose in the morning early, To take this Juice of barly, But if my wife Jone Knew where I were gone, sheed call me to a Parley. My bones I doe not favour, But honestly doe labour: But when I am out, I must make a mad bout come heres halfe a pot to thee neighbour. Come hither, etc. Gramarcy neighbour Jinkin, I see thou lovest no shrinking, And I for my part, From thee will not start, come fill us a little more drinke in.
Ith weeke we aske but one day, And thats next after Sunday, Our custome weele hold, Although our Wives scold, the Mault-man comes a Monday. Come hither, etc. Come lets have our Liquor about us, Mine Host doe not misdoubt us, Yet if we should call, And pay none at all, you were better be without us: But we are no such fellowes, Though some in clothes excell us, And yet have no coyne, For Liquor to Joyne. yet we have both whites and yellowes, Come hither, etc. We scorne those rooking Rorers, That are such common scorers, No coyne they can spare, Because they are such Dicers and such Whorers; But we doe hate such doing, Weele wast no meanes in wooing, Yet such as they be Make you thinke that we will not pay what is owing. Come hither mine Host, come hither, Heres two birds of a feather, Come hither mine Host With a pot and a Tost, and let us be merry together.

COme ply your worke my Masters, Let us not be time wasters, To worke or to play Very hard (as some say) is a signe of good fore-casters. Much prate to me is loathing To cumber the house for nothing, I hate a long tale, Give me some more Ale, which is meate, drinke, and cloathing, Come hither mine Host, come hither, Heres two birds of a feather, Come hither mine Host With a Pot and a Tost, and let us be merry together If wicked Will the Weaver, Or True the Taylor either, Were here with us now, To part we knew not how, till we were drunke together: Or Tom the neate Shoomaker, Or Kit the Joviall Baker, If any one of these Come hither and sees, with us heele be a Partaker. Come hither mine Host, come hither, Heres two birds of a feather, Come hither mine Host With a Pot and a Tost, and let us be merry together.
But sith there is no more here Weele say as we did before here, Betweene us weele call, And pay for it all, for we scorne to goe on the score here, Lets take off our Liquor roundly, And though we doe drinke soundly, Our humour is such, Weele not drinke so much, untill we both on the ground lye. Come hither mine Host, come hither, Heres two birds of a feather, Come hither mine Host With a Pot and a Tost, and let us be merry together. Now lest our Wives should find us, Tis fit we should look behinde us, Lets see what is done, Then pay and be gone. as honesty hath assignd us. Tis strong Ale I conceive it, Tis good in time to leave it, Or else it will make, Our foreheads to ake, tis vanity to out brave it. Come hither mine Host, come hither Heres two birds of a feather, Come hither mine Host With a Pot and a Tost, and let us be merry together.
