Beer Street, from Beer Street and Gin LaneThe accompanying poem, not printed in this reissue, reads:Beer, happy Produce of our IsleCan sinewy Strength impart,And wearied with Fatigue and ToilCan cheer each manly Heart.Labour and Art upheld by TheeSuccessfully advance,We quaff Thy balmy Juice with GleeAnd Water leave to France.Genius of Health, thy grateful TasteRivals the Cup of Jove,And warms each English generous BreastWith Liberty and Love!
