- Note
- "The first two stanzas were written originally by Thomas Shadwell for his opera Psyche, in 1675"--NUC pre-1956
Bodleian Library ballads database suggests publication date "between 1672 and 1696"; Wing suggests "[1675]". Since Psyche is dated 1675, unlikely to have been printed earlier
Verse - "The delights of the bottle, & charms of good wine,"
