Parson Herrick's Muse
The landlord shall our parson be;
The tavern-door our churchyard gate;
And we will fill the landlord's till
Before we fill the parson's plate!
But here's to parson Herrick's Muse!
Drink to it, dear old comrades, please!
And, prithee, for my tombstone choose
A verse from his "Hesperides."
