Come let us drink lyrics
by Henry Purcell
Come let us drink
’tis is vain to think
Like fools on grief or sadness
Let our money fly
And our sorrows die
All worldly care is madness
But wine and good cheer
Will, in spite of our fear
Inspire our hearts with mirth, boys
The time we live
To wine let us give
Since all must turn to earth, boys
Hand about the bowl
The delight of my soul
And to my hand commend it
A fig for chink
’twas made to buy drink
And before we go hence we’ll spend it
