For some reason I'm having trouble getting the lines to scan in my head... But I would love to hear this sung sometime. And I'm tickled that Francis Scott Key set what turns out to be the national anthem to a drinking song favored by libertines. :-)
The scanning difficulty is probably because the song is actually sung faster and with slightly different stresses in the original. I had Anacreon in my head all day yesterday :-)
If you go to Dicken's Faire they usually sing it either in the Music Hall or one of the "clubs" -- the first verse anyway.
