I am a friar of orders grey,
And down in the valleys I take my way;
I pull not blackberry, haw, or hip,—
Good store of venison fills my scrip.
— John O'Keeffe

A glass is good, and a lass is good,
And a pipe to smoke in cold weather;
The world is good, and the people are good,
And we're all good fellows together.
Sprigs of Laurel (1793)
Amo, amas, I love a lass,
As a cedar tall and slender;
Sweet cowslip's grace
Is her nom'native case,
And she's of the feminine gender.
The Agreeable Surprise (1781)
Dear sir, this brown jug, that now foams with mild ale,
Out of which I now drink to sweet Kate of the vale,
Was once Toby Filpot, a thirsty old soul,
As e'er crack'd a bottle, or fathom'd a bowl
The Poor Soldier (1783)
