Text of a drinking song. Full title: A favorite Song called / The Wine Bibber / Or, Billy diddled out of his Madeira. Contains a reference to the Green Dragon inn, Croydon; and to a churchwarden named Nevit. The text is written on a page torn out of a volume, previously used to record grocery accounts (including vegetables, a pigs head, etc) for Lloyd, with dates including 1813, 1815, and 1817. It has subsequently been mounted on card (by Croydon Library).
