THE WINE Gu P

THE WINE CUP.
That wine-cup! touch il not!
Youth take thy hand away
Poverty Gllsit up,
With ruin and decay.
Oh, Youngster, heed the well,
Ere thou hast quaffed a drop
The seeds of death are there
e Whose work thou canst not stop!
That wine-cup, spurn il hence
~ Though i, may sparkle well--
Though i, be old and red,
And suit 'hy palate WELL
OF ',is the fatal goal
Whence leads the Drankard's path:
Then heed it, youngster, well:--
Shun woes the Dr.mkard hath!
When in the festive hall,
Thou meet'st joviai band,
When merry goes the hour,
Where are voices sweet and bland!--
Should there the wine-cup come,
Creating higher JOY,
Oh, spurn the winc-cup then,
'Tis dangerous, my boy.
When in the wide world, youth,
Thou hold'st thy devions way,
II from the path Of truth
Temptations lead astray--
II uyg'd TO drain the glass,
With thoughtless, needless men,
Oh, as thou los'st myself,
Touch not the vine-cup then.
Should hours of darkness come,
And thy hearts purpose fail
Should life to thee seem vain,
And earth dreary vale,
Oh, to the voice Of truth
Take heed nor then be deaf,
Shun, shun the wine-cup then,
II cannot give relief.
