LET MINIONS MARSHAL EVERY HAIR by ANONYMOUS

Last Line: "SOME MEN WANT WIT, AND OTHERS WEALTH, / BUT THEY WANT NOTHING THAT ARE DRUNK"
Subject(s): DRINKS & DRINKING;

Let minions marshal every hair,
And in a lover's lock delight,
And artificial colours wear:
Pure wine is native red and white.

Some men want youth, and others health,
Some want a wife, and some a punk,
Some men want wit, and others wealth,
But they want nothing that are drunk.
