And the song that ends "Better to be drunk..." Is indeed "When I taste
my goblet deep", #93, "For a Bafs", from the Second Book of "Select
Ayres and Dialogues" by Henry Laws. It is also available as a PDF scan
on IMSLP:
[1]http://imslp.org/wiki/Select_Ayres_and_Dialogues_(Lawes,_Henry)
The words are
When I taste my Goblet deep, all my Cares are rock'd a Sleep:
Then I'm Croesus, Lord of th' Earth, Singing Odes of With and Mirth;
and with Ivy Garlands crown'd, I can kick the Glob round, round :|
|: Others Fight, but let me Drink; Boy, my Goblet fill to th' brink;
for when I lay down my head, better to be Drunk,
better to be Drunk, Dead Drunk; than dead ||

Can someone plug the leaks in my memory about two songs?
1. What's the song that ends "Better to be drunk - dead
drunk -
than dead"?
2. What's the printed source for the Robert King song "Tune
your
lute and raise your voice"?
And are either of them on the web in some form?
