The delights of the bottle: or, The town-gallants declaration for women and wine. Being a description of a town-bred gentleman, with all his intreagus, pleasure, company, humour, and conversations. Gallants, from faults he cannot be exempt, who doth a task so difficult attempt; I know I shall not hit your features right, 'tis hard to imitate in black and whight, some lines were drawn by a more skilful hand, and which they were you'l quickly understand, excuse me therefore if I do you wrong, I did but make a ballad of a song. To a most admirable new tune, every where much in request.
