REASONS FOR DRINKING by HENRY ALDRICH

First Line: IF ALL BE TRUE THAT I DO THINK
Last Line: OR ANY OTHER REASON WHY.
Subject(s): ALCOHOLISM & ALCOHOLICS; DRUNKARDS; ALCOHOL ABUSE;

IF all be true that I do think,
There are five reasons we should drink;
Good wine--a friend--or being dry--
Or lest we should be by and by--
Or any other reason why.
