To One demanding why Wine sparkles.

So diamonds sparkle, and thy mistress' eyes;

When 'tis not fire but light in either flies.

Beauty not thaw'd by lustful flames will show

Like a fair mountain of unmelted snow:

Nor can the tasted vine more danger bring

Than water taken from the crystal spring,

Whose end is to refresh and cool that heat

Which unallay'd becomes foul vice's seat:
