Women or Wine.
oah Episte 20 he Presidsat Of the NeiO England
.yoeietV, tOhO recommended Lhe introduction Of
Women iR place Of HfHe at entertainments.
'"One Of the two, according to your choice,
Women or wine you'll have 20 undergo;
Both mHladies are fa,al to our Joys;
But which t. choose ! really hardly know:
have tired both; 80 those who would part take,
May choose between the headache and the heart
aehe.r BYRON.
OIL weak and fool.hardy Feformer,
TO substitute women for wine;
The glow Of whose presence is warmer
Than the sunnieSt juice Of the vine'
Believe me, less fatal are juliPs
Than women in witchery skilled;
For there OoZes more venom from two lips
Than ever from grain was distilled.
Who barters for beauty his whskey,
The change will be certain to rue;
For her eyes shed a spirit more risky
Than turks in the best mountain dew.
All! those eyes at each meeting so merry,
You'll find to out sparkle champagne;
And ringets more golden than sherry,
Will fiddle as we'll the poor brain.
More tupering necks than the bottles,
With mouths more bcwildering crowned,
Will pour from their ravishing lhrottles
A stream that a sage would cOnfOund.
If wine makes Us brutes, love is able
To turn Us to fools with like ease:
II one lays US under the table,
T. other brings Us at least to our knees.
After dinner, when warmed with good eating,
IT'S women, not wine should flee:
"Perfect LoVe's" chasse cafe more heating
Than ever abused " eau de VIE"
Still at table some mischief she's brewing;
Oft feet scrape acquaintance below:
All! no heel-taPs so pregnant with ruin
As theseehidden taps OF the toe.
And hands, between courses at leisure,
Make friends when there's no one to mark:
All less poison yield grapes under Pressue,
Than fingers thus squeezed in the dark.
As home reels the topper Of beauty,
How crimson HE visage, poor elf!
How feverW he sleeps! how his duty
Is left to take care OF itself!
When lhwarted, how palsied his powers,
Till he sinks in despair at deaths door;
Oh. If woman her victim thus lowers,
What, ask, can the bottle do moreE
No spirit 90 ardent as woman's-
So sure to intoxicGte man:
Her touch is "delirium tremens,"
That maddens him more than the can.
The glance of her eye is blue ruin,'
Her blush is the blood Of the vine,
Her pout is a punch, in whose brewing
Tart, sugar and spirit combine.
So sparkling, so heating, so heady,
No hope for her victim appears:
Should her smiles only render him giddy,
He'll be surely made drunk by her tears.
Not the grape juice Of Eden made Adam
So stupidity forfeit his all;
But the lure of his volatile Madam
Led him tipsiy on to his fall.
Not the wines Of fair Cyprus the rover
So sure as its women beguile:
Better rest where he is, "half-seas over"
Than steer for so fatal an isle.
o! then shun such tempter as this is,
Nor commerce so hazardous court:
Who embarks on the waves Of her tTesses,
Will grieve that he ventured from Port.
