We'll sport and be free with Moll, Betty, and Dolly,
Have oysters and lobsters to cure melancholy:
Fish-dinners will make a lass spring like a flea,
Dame Venus, love's lady,
Was born of the sea.

Additional quotes by Thomas Jordan (poet)

Your most beautiful bride who with garlands is crown'd
And kills with each glance as she treads on the ground...
Though now she be pleasant and sweet to the sense,
Will be damnable mouldy a hundred years hence.

Let's eat, drink, and play till the worms do corrupt us,
'Tis certain, Post mortem
Nulla voluptas.
