till the morning light
In groceries often tarried,
there did drink of punch and gin,
And with my friend grew merry;
But long alas the time has been
Since slipped port and sherry.
Thus in tho Silly night.
Ere Sally's chain had bound me,
drank till morning light.
Companions all around me.
When I remember all
The friends that drank together,
In grocery. or at ball. -
In hot and wintry weather,
I feel like one who treads alone
Some grocery deserted,
Whose hopes ore dead, whose brandy's aed,
And he to home departed.
Thus in the Silly night, E-
Since Sallys chain has bound me.
Sad memory brings the light
OF other nights around me.
