mighty Powers! doth not  exceed
In Strength? — It overcometh all indeed:
By freely drinking many are misled;
By  the strongest have been conquered:
The needy Orphan it will quickly bring
To be as gay and pleasant as the King;
Enslaveth him that heretofore was free;
Makes Servants think they have their Liberty:
The poor Man and the rich alike are found,
While Mirth and Jollity go freely round;
Remembrance of all Evils, past and gone,
Sorrows and Debts, no more are thought upon
When sparkling  their Heart begins to cheer,
Nor King, nor Governor they seem to fear;
They speak at large, each would be Chief of all,
Till Friends and Brethren at Variance fall:
Drawn Swords sometimes the Pow'r of  attend,
But when 'tis gone, the Quarrel's at an End;
Their Wrath forgot, their Mirth thought on no more,
Each Man is in the State he was before.
The Force and Pow'r of , consider'd well,
Must needs in Strength all other Things excel,
