THREE brightest blessings of this thirsty race,

(Whence sprung and when I don't propose to trace);

Pale brandy, potent spirit of the night,

Brisk soda, welcome when the morn is bright;

To make the third, combine the other two,

The force of nature can no further go.

THREE viands in three different courses served,

Received the commendation they deserved.
