Written when times were dull, and Golden Ale want ed a market—many years ago. What’s the world to a man without children and wife, lie may toil, he may atrive, the whole length of his life, Let him drink Golden Ale, and his spirits ’twill cheer, TUI the glow on his cheek draws some kind creature near. Let him drink Golden Ale, and soot wedded he’ll l>e; How bis heart will expand fctaen 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. Tile old maiden, too, had long thought to herself, When no kind hand was near, she must get on the shelf; But she _-ied Golden Ale, and its magical train Brought beauty and youth to her cheek once again. And lovers in scores to her cottage repair,^ Youth 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 Geldcu Ale. . The old and the young to be hearty and hale, Bhould each day imbibe of this bright Golden Ale, And their collars well store for the cold winter’s night As 'tis healtli to the sick, to the blind it is light.
