Good Ale
John Rutter’s rousing drinking song Good ale, which was originally published as part of his cycle of six choral settings with small orchestra When icicles hang, is full of spirit and character.
Bring us in good ale, and bring us in good ale,
For our blessed Lady’s sake, bring us in good ale.
Bring us in no brown bread, for that is made of bran;
Nor bring us in no white bread, for therein is no game,
But bring us in good ale.
Bring us in no beef, for there is many bones,
But bring us in good ale, for that go’th down at once,
And bring us in good ale.
Bring us in no bacon, for that is passing fat,
But bring us in good ale, and give us enough of that,
And bring us in good ale.
Bring us in no mutton, for that is often lean,
Nor bring us in no tripes, for they be seldom clean,
But bring us in good ale.
Bring us in no eggs, for there are many shells,
But bring us in good ale, and give us nothing else,
And bring us in good ale.
Bring us in no puddings, for therein is all goat’s blood;
Nor bring us in no venison, for that is not for our good:
But bring us in good ale.
Bring us in no capon’s flesh, for that is often dear,
Nor bring us in no duck’s flesh, for they slobber in the mere,
But bring us in good ale.
(15th-century English)
