Of Honest Malt Liquor

A Taste of Ale track 7

A Catch, dating from 1733.

"Of honest malt liquor let English boys sing,
A pox take French claret we'll drink no such thing.
But London brewed staple, stout Burton and Lincoln,
They'll find us good matter to talk or to think on.
To King, Lords and Commons toast a health ere we rise,
Tho' we lower our pockets, yet we raise his Excise"
