The Soldiers Song.
THough the Morning was wet,We are merrily metIn a house more dry then our skin Boys.Weel drink down the day,Ne're question our pay,Let them heartily laugh out that win Boys.Chorus. Then drink a full brimmer to him that intendsFor the good of the Souldier to labour his ends.

Let him flatter and lie,What is it to thee and I,And Ape Noll in every condition.If we thrive upon't,Let all the World want,And the City kneel down and Petition.Chorus. Then drink a full brimmer to him that intendsFor the good of the Souldier to labour his ends.
