How stands the glass around ?

For shame, ye take no care, my boys !

How stands the glass around ?

Let mirth and ale abound !

The trumpets sound,

The colours flying are, my boys,

To fight, kill, or wound :

Content with our hard fare, my boys,

On the cold ground !

Why, soldiers, why

Should we be melancholey, boys !

Why, soldiers, why,

Whose business 'tis to die ?

What sighing ? Fie !

Shun fear, drink on, be jolly, boys !

'Tis he, you or I.

Cold, hot, wet, or dry,

We're always bound to follow, boys,

And scorn to fly.

'Tis but in vain

(I mean not to upbraid you, boys),

'Tis but in vain

For soldiers to complain;

Should next campaign

Send us to Him that made us, boys,

We're free from pain;

But should we remain,

A tankard and kind landlady

Cures all again

The number of "_"'s is not a clue ...

Unless it's Samuel Plimsoll, which seems very unlikely, or unless Charlie Peace had a missis called Sandra (or something) there's no one with those initials in the Sheffield Celebrities or '200 Famous Sheffielders'. So I give up.

[RichardB]

You have the answer, despite giving up - Samuel Plimsoll it is !

Samuel Plimsoll, Brewer's Clerk, 7 Sheaf Gardens (1852)

Unless it's Samuel Plimsoll, which seems very unlikely, or unless Charlie Peace had a missis called Sandra (or something) there's no one with those initials in the Sheffield Celebrities or '200 Famous Sheffielders'. So I give up.

A few notes mentioning Sheffield from "The Plimsoll Sensation" by N Jones p. 2006

Plimsoll's family moved to Regent Street on 22nd January 1838 when he was 14. He received education at Dr Samuel Eadon's school and later at the People's College(founded in 1842 by Robert Bayley, a Congregational minister). His 1st job for 2 years was as a lawyers clerk - for Henry Waterfall a Sheffield Solicitor and then worked for 10 years as a clerk in the brewery of Thomas Rawson and Co.

Did I read this correctly?

He was suspended from his membership of the Nether Congregational Church because he was declared bankrupt?

What happened to: "Go and sell what things you have and give to the poor . . and come be my follower?"
