talk_v have_v foot_n and_o yet_o like_o dead_a man_n can_v walk_v have_v ear_n and_o hear_v not_o nay_o the_o truth_n to_o tell_v nose_n and_o their_o own_o vomit_n can_v smell_v and_o if_o for_o

envy_n and_o falsehood_n do_v possess_v a_o number_n all_o have_v a_o worldly_a spirit_n but_o drunkard_n have_v legion_n of_o spirit_n lead_v to_o their_o grave_n for_o every_o reign_a sin_n a_o devil_n be_v and_o quite_o deprive_v they_o of_o eternal_a bliss_n drunkard_n be_v captive_n to_o the_o devil_n still_o at_o his_o command_n ready_a to_o do_v his_o will_n he_o be_v their_o father_n

shall_v bid_v like_a ananias_n and_o sapphira_n both_o make_v they_o to_o lie_v nay_o bound_v it_o with_o a_o oath_n he_o enter_v drunkard_n and_o with_o one_o accord_n make_v they_o to_o tempt_v

their_o hand_n as_o by_o king_n herod_n over_o all_o the_o land_n so_o that_o as_o paul_n guide_v by_o god_n you_o see_v can_v say_v i_o live_v not_o but_o god_n live_v in_o i_o so_o drunkard_n they_o

see_v as_o full_o false_o spireful_o as_o he_o if_o he_o bid_v quarrel_n fight_n revenge_n nay_o worse_o murder_n destroy_v blaspheme_v forswear_v and_o curse_v they_o instant_o obey_v and_o do_v begin_v to_o act_v as_o soon_o as_o he_o command_v the_o sin_n thus_o far_o i_o have_v drunkard_n set_v forth_o entire_a and_o think_v that_o none_o can_v tax_v i_o for_o a_o liar_n now_o whilst_o they_o sit_v and_o take_v the_o other_o cup_n i_o will_v anatomize_v and_o cut_v they_o up_o and_o i_o will_v spare_o in_o this_o my_o verse_n but_o few_o of_o their_o ill_a quality_n rehearse_v instead_o of_o a_o great_a number_n so_o that_o you_o may_v well_o by_o they_o guess_v at_o the_o residue_n the_o first_o ill_a quality_n i_o do_v present_a be_v that_o they_o think_v each_o hour_n

and_o go_v and_o credit_n with_o the_o tapster_n they_o have_v none_o and_o when_o they_o have_v thus_o lavish_v out_o their_o store_n they_o plot_n and_o practice_n how_o they_o shall_v get_v more_o and_o so_o they_o fall_v to_o secret_a mischief_n hence_o or_o to_o a_o open_a course_n of_o violence_n so_o that_o the_o taphouse_n fit_v they_o for_o the_o jail_n the_o jail_n to_o the_o gibbet_n send_v they_o without_o fail_v for_o those_o that_o through_o a_o lattice_n sing_v of_o late_a you_o oft_o find_v cry_v through_o a_o iron_n grate_n yet_o this_o the_o work_n of_o many_o month_n may_v
