    Troll the bowl, the jolly nut-brown bowl,
    And here, kind mate, to thee!

    And down it merrily.

    As I went on Yule day
    In our procession,
    Knew I jolly Jankin
    By his merry tone—
    Kyrie eleison.

    I wish I loved the Human Race;
    I wish I loved its silly face;
    I wish I liked the way it walks;
    I wish I liked the way it talks;
    And when I’m introduced to one
    I wish I thought What Jolly Fun!
    Sir Walter Raleigh (1861–1922)
