Side 199 - I'm like a young lady just bringing to bed. If you ask why the 1 1th of June I remember, Much better than April, or May, or November, On that day, my lords, with truth I assure ye, My sainted progenitor set up his brewery; On that day, in the morn, he began brewing beer; On that day, too...
