 ten In mercy let it render back again; One-tenth of all the homes, the land, the
 gold, The peace, the joy, it's close-mouthed
 coffers hold You sheer, you generous liquor. We'll
 you know All things to get and nothing to let go.
 Generous" forsooth! "A royal humper!" 'Royal?" Yes, a Whose reign means serfdom. There's no
 sacred thing This royal" liquor fails to override, And whelm in fiendish lust and hateful
 pride. His regnant scepter bends, and at the

 of wine. His throne is built of broken hearts, his Cleans red with stars from heaven fallen down.
 "Royal," indeed! "A sparkling goblet"" Yes, yesI-an With horrid hell's most haggard, ghastly The light of happy eyes turned to de-
 spair, The flash of hate, the eating flame of care, The glitter of madman's awful eyes, The dying light that stabs one as it dies Hence does the "sparkling goblet" get the glow And radiant glances that delight mon so.
 Sparkling" forsooth! "Strong" drink, strong" drink! We'll may we call it strong That drags so many myriad men head long Down woes most awful path to dreadful death, That shatters happy households at a And fastens with its hot and crooked hands On temple roof and spire that loftiest

 far; Rare-till the children's sobs, the wives
 despair The drunkards dreadful anguish, grow
 more rare Brothers, to work to work with hand
 and will And make these "rare old spirits" Tar CT
 still Z. l God for the right
