Sight most delicious, not an Irksom Thought,

Or of left native Isle, or absent Friends,

Or dearest Wife, or tender sucking Babe,

His kindly treach’rous mem’ry now presents

The Jovial God has left no room for Cares.

Celestial Liquor, thou that didst inspire

Maro and Flaccus, and the Grecian Bard,

With lofty Numbers, and Heroic strains

Unparalell’d, with Eloquence profound,

And Arguments Convincive didst enforce
