WINE
A
POEM.
Of Happineſs Terreſtrial, and the Source
Whence human Pleaſures flow, ſing Heavenly Muſe,
Of ſparkling juices, of th’ enliv’ning Grape,
Whoſe quickning Taſte adds Vigour to the Soul,
Whoſe Sov’raign pow’r revives decaying Nature,
And thaws the frozen Blood of Hoary Age
Whence human Pleaſures flow, ſing Heavenly Muſe,
Of ſparkling juices, of th’ enliv’ning Grape,
Whoſe quickning Taſte adds Vigour to the Soul,
Whoſe Sov’raign pow’r revives decaying Nature,
And thaws the frozen Blood of Hoary Age
