A health to honest Rudy Roger Hewett  - (Catch Club - 1/32)
 Here's a health, a health,

 Pray let it pass about.

 A health that ne'er shall cease

 Till all our Wine is out.

 Therefore drink away,

 And never let it stand,

 But ply it closely round

 From hand to hand,

 And eagerly, and bravely,

 With courage thus persue it,

 For tis a health, a health,

 To honest Ruddy Roger Hewett.

 
 (2nd part - 1733): 
 Room, room, room ( The siege of Limerick )  - (Catch Club - 2/8)
 Room, room, room, room, room for the express, 

 At length here it comes;

 Limrick's our own, 

 Limrick's our own,

 Be it known,

 Be it known to all Grums.

 Hark! Hark! Hark! 

 The guns of the tower ring,

 Ring it in peals,

 We'll drink round the Bonfires,

 We'll drink round the Bonfires,

 Huzza, Huzza to the Bells,

 to our conquering Army loud Praises,

 Loud Praises let's sing,

 And now Monsieur Frenchman,

 And now Monsieur Frenchman,

 Have at you,

 Have at you next Spring.

 
 Sweet Sir Walter  - (Catch Club - 2/12)
 Sir Walter, enjoying his Damsel one night, 

 He tickl'd and pleas'd her to so great a height, 

 that she could not contain t'wards the end of the matter, 

 but in Rapture cry'd out, O sweet sir Walter, 

 O sweet Sir Walter, O sweet Sir Walter, 

 O sweet Sir, sweet Sir Walter, O switter swatter, 

 O switter swatter, O switter swatter, 

 O switter swatter, O switter swatter.

 
 Five reasons we should drink  - (Catch Club - 2/16)
 If all be true that I do think 

 there are Five Reasons, 

 there are Five Reasons we should Drink: 

 Good wine, A friend, or being Dry, 

 Or least we should be by and by, 

 Or any other Reason, 

 Or any other Reason; 

 Or any other Reason why, 

 any Reason why.

 
 Let us drink to our wives  - (Catch Club - 2/46)
 Once in our lives,

 let us drink to our Wives,

 Tho' their numbers be but small;

 Heav'n take the best,

 And the Devil take the rest,

 And so we shall get rid of them all:

 To this hearty wish,

 Let each man take his dish,

 And drink, drink till he fall.
