SONG FOR VINTNERS

THE Lion laps the limpid lake,

The Pard refuses wine,

The sinuous Lizard and the Snake,

The petulant Porcupine,

Agree in this, their thirst to quench

Only with Nature's natural "drench."

In vain with beer you tempt the Deer,

Or lure the Marmozet;

The early morning Chanticleer,
