SONG, by                    
First Line: In spite of love at length I've found
Last Line: Tis a bottle of good claret
Subject(s): Drinks & Drinking


In spite of love at length I've found
A mistress that can please me,
Her humour free and unconfined
Both night and day she'll ease me.
No jealous thoughts disturb my mind,
Though she's enjoyed by all mankind;
Then drink and never spare it,
'Tis a bottle of good claret!...

But best of all, she has no tongue,
Submissive she obeys me,
She's fully better old than young,
And still so smiling sways me;
Her skin is smooth, complection black,
And has a most delicious smack;
Then kiss and never spare it,
'Tis a bottle of good claret!
