No, its ashes are dead—and, alas! Love or Song
No charm to Life’s lengthening shadows can lend,
Like a cup of old wine, rich, mellow, and strong,
And a seat by the fire tête-à-tête with a friend.

Old Sherry.
(A Parody on the Anacreontic Song.)
To old Sheridan once as he sat in full glee,
A few duns for hard money sent a petition;
And prayed that his cash or bank notes they might see,
