John Lyly - Oh, For a Bowl of Fat Canary

John Lyly - Oh, For a Bowl of Fat Canary

Oh, for a bowl of fat Canary, br Rich Palermo, sparkling Sherry, br Some nectar else, from Juno's dairy; br Oh, these draughts would make us merry! br br Oh, for a wench (I deal in faces, br And in other daintier things); br Tickled am I with her embraces, br Fine dancing in such fairy rings. br br Oh, for a plump fat leg of mutton, br Veal, lamb, capon, pig, and coney; br None is happy but a glutton, br None an ass but who want money. br br Wines indeed and girls are good, br But brave victuals feast the blood; br For wenches, wine, and lusty cheer, br Jove would leap down to surfeit here.
