You say the "public good" requires
That Houses should be kept
In which are dealt those liquid fires,
That men from earth have swept!
Not for the good of those we know
Who only right would do
Not for the good of those that 60


For temp'rance measures, true.
Not for the good Of those we see,


Who drink and drink, and go
For anti-temp'rance measures free
For Rum-holes high and low.
Not good for him who silly drinks,
Presuming no one knows,
(IIimself except or even thinks,


That where he does, he goes.
Not for the good of those, we know,
Who tares have to pay,
That Rum-holes, either high or low,
Their coppers pick away.
Not for the good Of her, whose life
Most wretehed oft we see;
No! not for one, the drunkard's wife,
Good can such houses be.
Not for the good of wido,us, all


Forsaken, lonely left
OF partners dear, by Alcohol


Of all on earth bereft.
Not for the good Of children poor


(Who drunken fathers have,)
Compelled to beg from door to door,
Themselves from death to save.
Not for the young, the thoughtless, gay,
Good can such houses be,
As tempt, and lure young men away
To drink, carouse, and spree!
Not for the good of those, who keep
Rum holes, and serpents too,
That oft into their bosoms creep,


And sting, till death ensue.
Not for the good of Ladies, no,


Since some, (no doubp not all,
That do with them to Rum-holes 60,
Together with them fall.
Not good for you, not good for me,


Not good for those that fall,
That set among us that should be


Death-traps in Alcohol!
