<L><HI>O</HI> What a &s;inful Age</L>
<L>is this that we live in,</L>
<L>When men delight in extreams,</L>

<L>Perhaps this may be our la&s;t day,</L>
<L>then let us d<GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter">ink our Sherry.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>It is a motion &s;trange</L>
<L>to call for men to drink,</L>
<L>But do not &s;ay let us go pray,</L>
<L>for 'tis high time I think.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>In&s;tead of good advice</L>
<L>they &s;hould give one another,</L>
<L>They give advice that in a trice</L>
<L>they may all virtue &s;mother.</L>

<L>Wicked devices now</L>
<L>&s;eem to be &s;o common,</L>

<L>Oh pitty it is then</L>

<L>Who by their wickedne&s;s</L>
<L>promote the Devils cau&s;e,</L>
<L>They urge our God to &s;end his Rod,</L>
<L>by breaking of his Laws.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>While yet we lei&s;ure have</L>
<L>and time for to repent,</L>
<L>Make no delay for fear you may</L>
<L>into the Grave be &s;ent.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Before you are prepar'd</L>
<L>and fitted for to dye,</L>
<L>Oh then make ha&s;te and no time wa&s;te</L>
<L>repent immediately.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>It can do you no harm</L>
<L>for to repent in time,</L>
<L>Many I &s;ay are &s;naccht away,</L>
<L>and dye ju&s;t in their prime.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>We have no lea&s;e of life,</L>
<L>no more than tho&s;e who died,</L>
<L>And met with death who &s;top'd their breath</L>
<L>and would not be deny'd.</L>

<L>When death doth us a&s;&s;aile</L>
<L>we cannot him oppo&s;e,</L>
<L>Certain it is we mu&s;t not mi&s;s</L>
<L>the Hour, yet no man knows.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>It will be very &s;ad</L>
<L>for tho&s;e who die in &s;in,</L>
<L>Oh then take care for death prepare,</L>
<L>and think how &s;lack you've b&eacute;en.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>We &s;hall not alwaies find</L>
<L>God will with &s;inners hear,</L>
<L>Then while you may make no delay</L>
<L>but for your death prepare.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Think not that when you plea&s;e</L>
<L>you &s;hall have time to do it,</L>
<L>If you prolong time, you do wrong</L>
<L>your &s;elves; then now fall to it.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>And &s;ay not with the wretch</L>
<L>let's drink, laugh, and be merry,</L>
<L>Time will not &s;tay but flies away,</L>
<L>then do not mind your Sherry.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>But that which will do good</L>
<L>to your immortal &s;ouls,</L>
<L>Mind that alone, and ev'ry one</L>
<L>leave quaffing of your Bouls.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>That drink which now in wa&s;te</L>
<L>you down your throats do throw,</L>
<L>Where drink is &s;cant the &s;ame you'l want</L>
<L>&amp; crave for ought I know.</L>
