A CATCH ROYAL, by                 Poet Analysis    
First Line: Let the drawer run down
Last Line: We'll drink the sun up again.
Subject(s): Drinks & Drinking; Wine


Let the drawer run down;
We'll sit and drink the sun down:
Here's a jolly health to the King!
Let him be confounded
And hang'd up for a Roundhead,
That will not pledge me a spring;
Next to Lady Mary
This beer-bowl of Canary,
I'll pledge't a carouse were it ten;
When Charles his thoughts are eased,
And his great heart appeased,
We'll drink the sun up again.
