Here’s a Health unto His Majesty

		1

Here’s a health unto his Majesty, 
	With a fal lal la la la la la! 
Confusion to his enemies, 
	With a fal lal la la la la la! 
And he that will not drink his health, 
I wish him neither wit nor wealth, 
Nor yet a rope to hang himself. 
	With a fal lal la .  .  .  .  .  .  .

All Cavaliers will please combine, 
	With a fal lal la la la la la! 
To drink this loyal toast of mine, 
	With a fal lai la la la la la! 
If anyone should answer ‘No!’ 
I only wish that he may go 
With Roundhead rogues to Jericho. 
	With a fal lal la .  .  .  .  .  .  .
