BEAUTIFUL ALE.

I'll A8Es
ApARoDY ON THE 'BEAurTUL sNow"- BIZ ''5EEMs
PIPES, OF PIPEsvILLE
oh the ale, til beautiful ale,
Brown and strong, heavy and pale;
Filling the brewers carts IN the street,
Filling our stomachs whenever we eat.
sxigging,
Lushing down
1t makes YOU Jingle from toe TO crown;
And then it iushes with red your cheek,
Or clings to your lips in frolicksome peak. =
Beautiful ale! from the brewers above,
Swallowed by many, as Will prove.
Oh! the ale, the beautiful ale!
How the folks stagger, and each other hail
Dancing about in their drunken fun
They want to lark with every one.
Chasing,
1t reddens the face, and it crimsons your eye,
And even the dogs, with a bark and bound
Get out Of the way when you are "around-"
The town is aliye-and so on with the tale
To tell Of the doings of beautiful Ale!'
How the gay drinkers go surRing along,
Hailing each other with humor and song
How those who are fuddled go stumbling by
Many, alas with very black eye;
Casting up their accounts so pale,
All from the effects of Beautiful Ale"
Ale so pure when it greets the eyei -
To be guzzled so much by the crowns rushing oy'
To be drunk so steadily that you lose your feet,
Till you fall in the filth Of the horrible street,
Once 1 drank nearly barrel Of Ale-and fell!
Fell where? well never mind-I dare not tell
Fell and was spurned, as the dirt in the street
Fell and was called by each one "dead beat"
SneezDg,
= Ever so high
Selling my clothes-just for ale to buy
ar n din Is foam daily bread
Until had nothing else in my head.
Goodness gracious! my lips turn pale
When think how I've drank of this Beautiful
Ale.n
Once was pale-as this beautiful ale
With an eye and cheek rs If famed IL gale,
Walking on pavements with elegant grace,
And looking in windows as passed at my face.
Father,
Sisters all
Cut me directly they hear of my fall;
And even the beggsrs that go Shivering by
Turn up their noses and cry my Eye"
For all that Is in meas sure as nail
There's nothing but several pints of ale.
VI
How strange it should be, tina! this "BeSutiful
Should make us so sick, and have such large
sale;
How strange it should be, when the night comes
again,
That we go on precisely similar ''train,D
Drinking
with others,
or perhaps alone.
Too far gone for praying-but only a moan
Can be heard escaping from the mouth in our
crown.
All owing to pouring this pale ale down.
And so here endeth this terrible tale
All about drinking this beautiful Ale"
