Like humming, nappy ale. Oh ! whether thee I closely hug In honest can or nut-brown jug, Or in the tankard hail ; In barrel or in bottle pent, I give the generous spirit vent, Still may I feast on ale. But chief when to the cheerful glass, From vessel pure, thy streamlets pass. Then most thy charms prevail ; Then, then, I'll bet, and take the odds, That nectar, drink of heathen gods. Was poor compared to ale ! Give me a bumper, fill it up : See how it sparkles in the cup ; Oh, how shall I regal...e ! 98 Ballad on Ale Can any taste this drink divine. And then compare rum, brandy, wine, Or ought with nappy ale ? Inspired by thee the warrior fights, The lover wooes, the poet writes, And pens the pleasing tale ; And still in Britain's isle confest, Nought animates the patriot's breast Like generous, nappy ale. High church and Low oft raise a strife, And oft endanger limb and life, Each studious to prevail ; Yet Whig and Tory, opposite In all things else, do both unite In praise of nappy ale.
