We’ll search every room for to find rich treasure,

And when we have got it we’ll spend it at leisure.

We’ll card it, we’ll dice it, we’ll spend without measure,

And when it’s all gone, bid adieu to all pleasure.

From: The Grenadier’s March (Anon), Quoted in THE RAMBLING SOLDIER, edited by Roy Palmer, Penguin Books, 1977.
