145403 : Mornington : See the bowl sparkles : sheet music
Catalogued as Choral - Secular (Glees and Catches)

One of those catches that is more lubricious in performance than the anodyne lyrics might suggest. It was published in Warren's fourteenth collection, 1774. This edition comprises a modern realisation, and a statement of the piece in its original specialised format.
Lyrics: Anon, probably the composer

See the bowl sparkles with wine;
You four sing our favourite glee.
Endless pleasures we press from the vine;
Dull spleen is the extract of tea.
