Written when times were dull, and Goldon Ale want ed a market—many years ago. What’s the world to a man without children and wife, He may toil, he may strive, the wt\ple length of his life, Let him drink Golden Ale, and his spirits ’twill cheer, Till the glow on his cheek draws some kind creature near. Let. him drink Golden- Ale, and soon wedded he’ll be; How his 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 be there. The old maiden, too, had long thought to herself, When no kind hand was near, she must get on the shelf; Bat she tried Golden Ale, and its magical train Brought beauty and youth to her cheek once again. And lovers in scores so her cottage repair, T outb blooms ou her cheeks aud raven's her hair, Ouce again in her teens she's the Belle of the Vale, Aud is doatingjy fond of the famed Goldon Ale. T he old and the young to be hearty and hale, Should each day imbibe of this bright Golden Ale, And their cellurs well store for the cold winter’s night As ’tis health to tire sick, to the blind it is light.
