At the same time, another little songbook: The Oxford Songbook, collected and arranged by Percy C Buck, (pub)Oxford University Press 1919, has the song with two verses,the second of which does not appear above, so:

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 lal la la la la la!
If anyone should answer 'No,'
I only wish that he may go
With Roundhead rogues to Jerico,
With a fal lal la ...

Cheers

Nigel
