English translation by Mick Swithinbank Master Peter, down the hatch! Drain the cup with all despatch! As I returned from Marylebone I sat me down upon a stone, A flagon for myself alone, And with it, too, a ham to match, The juiciest I've ever known. Master Peter, down the hatch! Drain the cup with all despatch!
