CANONICUS EBORACENSIS.

"_You Friend drink to me Friend_" (Vol. iv., p. 59.).--When I was a boy,

about sixty-five years ago, Mr. Holder (a surgeon of some eminence at

that time) was a frequent visitor at our house, and much amused us by

several catches in which (under his instruction) we delighted to join;

and among which was--

"_I_ friend, drink to _thee_, friend, as _my_ friend

drank to _me_;

_I_ friend, charge _thee_, friend, as _my_ friend

charg[=e]d _me_;

S[)o] d[)o] _thou_, friend, dr[)i]nk t[)o] _thy_ friend,

as _my_ friend drank to _me_,

For the more we drink liquor the merrier are we."
