Here you will find the Poem The Nut-Brown Ale of poet John Marston
THE nut-brown ale, the nut-brown ale, Puts down all drink when it is stale! The toast, the nutmeg, and the ginger Will make a sighing man a singer. Ale gives a buffet in the head, But ginger under-props the brain; When ale would strike a strong man dead Then nutmeg tempers it again. The nut-brown ale, the nut-brown ale, Puts down all drink when it is stale!
