THE Epistle Dedicatory.
TO all Lovers, Admirers and Doters on Claret, (Who tho' at Deaths-Door, yet can hadly forbear it) Who can Miracles credit, and fancy Red-Port To be Sprightly Puntack, and the best of the sort. To all Mornings-draught Men, who drink bitter Wine, To Create a false Stomach against they'r to Dine. To all Tavern-kitchen Frequenters and Haunters, Who go thither to hear Mistress Cooks foolish Banters, To Partake of a Dumpling, or Sop in the Pan; A Large Rummer Drank up, troop as fast as they can. To all sober Half-Pint Men, and serious Sippers. To all old Maudlin Drinkers, and 12 a Clock Bibbers, To all Drinking Committees, Knots, Clubs, Corporati∣ons Who while others are snoaring, they'r settling the Nations To all the brisk Beau's who think Life but a Play, Who make Day like the Night, and turn Night into Day. To all Lovers of Red and White-Port, Syracuse, Barcelona, Navarr, or Canary's sweet Juice.Page [unnumbered]
To all Drinkers of Sherry, Old Hock, or Moselle,
Or of Tent, which soon teaches the Flesh to Rebel.
To all Alicant-Tasters, and Malaga-Sots.
To all Friends to Straw-Bottles, and Nicking Quart-Pots.
To all Bacchus his Friends, who have Taverns frequented,
This following Poem
Is Humbly Presented.
