 Or sudden choler, or the nre
 Of tipsy loves insane deslre, $ 0r fumes of soft caressing sleep, 0r what more potent charms you keep; Dnt th;s know, your ripened power Ref;ts some choicely festive hour. A cup peculiarly mellow Corvinus asks so come, old fellow, From your time honored bin descend, And let me gratify my friend No churI is he, your charm to slight, Though most intensely erudite; And even old Cato's worth, we know, Took from good wine nobler glow. Your magic power of wit can spread The halo round 8 dullard's head, Can make the sage forget his care, His bosoms inmost thoughts unbare, And drown his solemn-faced pretence Beneath your blithesome influence. Bright hope you bring and vigor back To minds out worn upon the rack, And put such courage in the brain As makes the poor be men again, Whom neither tyrants' wrath anrign1s' Nor all their bristling satellites. a Racchus and Venus, so that she
