Dct him drink Golden Ale, and soon wedded he’ll be; llow tyis heart will expand when a babe’s on his knee; Let him never imbibe till his spouse have a share, And blessings and peace will for ever bo there. Tlie old maiden, too, had long thought to herself; When no kind hand was near, she must get on the shelf; Hut she tried Golden Ale, and its magical train Drought beauty and youth to her cheek once again. And 'overs in scores to her cottage repair, onth blooms on her cheeks and raven’s her hair, Once again in her teens she’s the Belle of the Vale, And is doatingly fond of the famed Golden Ale. The old and the young to be hearty and hale, Should each day imbibe of this bright Golden Ale, And their cellars well store for the cold winter’s night As ’tis health to the sick, to the blind it is light.
