The felon, with unnatural mixture first 195

Who dar’d to violate the virgin Wine.

Or on the fugitive Champain you pour

A thousand curses; for to heav’n your soul

It rapt, to plunge you deeper in despair.

Perhaps you rue even that divinest gift, 200

The gay, serene, good-natur’d Burgundy,

Or the fresh fragrant vintage of the Rhine:

And with that heaven from mortals had withheld

The grape, and all intoxicating bowls.
