Temperance Reading.
TIE DRINKING BRTGADE. OR THE
BREW WEIR s COUNSEL.

Brew, brew, brewl
For there's gold in the sale
OF our jolly brown ale.
And together wen wink.
While the poor ninnies drink.
How they go for the slush
When their money is flush.
Till they quarrel and fight,
As they reel home at night.
All as drunk as can be.
Coming fresh from q spree:
But you know it's our trade.
While our license is paid;
So huZza and huzZal
For the drinking brigade.
Brew, brew, brewl
Through the whole of the land
Wen supply the demand,
For we care not for right,
Let the people get tight;
We have nothing to lose,
Let them drink when they choose,
For we feel not the pain,
and we see not the slain;
Or the murdered ones gore,
AS 1t flows on the floor.
All our fortunes are made,
AND our taxes are paid,
ana we stand at the head
VI the drinking brigade.
Sell, sell, SELF
In each county and State;
AND we care not for those
Sober people, our foes,
Those fanatics, who think
There's no good in strong drink.
Let them blow about jails,
And complain of our aleS
Of the drunkardS who die,
And the women who cry
Der the graves that are made
By the old sections spade,
On behalf of themselves
And the drinking brigade.
Drink, drink, drink
Let each jolly old soul
Hug his firm friend, the bowl;
And forever we'll sell
Till they sink into hell;
As we laugh at the deed,
While the children in need
To the work-house are led,
And on charity fed;
Till they blow off the froth,
Ere they suck in our broth,
Their own selves to degrade,
In support of our trade,
And the revenue drawn
From the drinking brigade.
Buy, buy, buyl
You should drink while you can,
IT'S by far the best plan,
For the use of your tin
Wen fill up your skin
With our jolly brown beer,
Which we brew every year.
IT'S to finger your cash,
That we simmer and mash
The vast mountain of grain
From the valley and plain.
IT'S alone by our aid
That the drunkards are made.
So three cheers, and huzza
For the drinking brigade.
