English text

Here's a health, a health,

pray let it pass about.

A health that ne'er shall cease till all our wine is out;

Therefore drink away, and never let it stand,

But ply it closely round, from hand to hand.

And eagerly and bravely with courage thus persue it.

For tis a health, a health to honest ruddy Roger Hewett.
