A Grog.orfen Chant.
Give milk to babes 10 peasants beer:
Let landsmen sip their boOded wine
The Rechabite drink water clear;
But, for the lads that cross the brine
And battle with the strong gale,
Bring stronger food than wine or ale
Rum-rum-Jama.ca rum

The strong the weak, the gay, the glum,
All call thee good, Jamaica Rum.
And when the en- my heayes IN sght

But D. all, let's have some run.'
