No word o' the wine rejoicing God and man,

The less when three-parts water? Then, I say,

A trifle of torture to the flesh, like yours,

While soul is spared such foretaste of hell-fire,

Is naught. But I curtail the catalogue

Through policy,—a rhetorician's trick,—

Because I would reserve some choicer points

O' the practice, more exactly parallel

(Having an eye to climax) with what gift,

Eventual grace the Court may have in store
