The bounteous Author of my Plenty bless. I'd have a little Cellar, Cool and Neat, With Humming Ale, and Virgin Wine Repleat. Wine whets the Wit, improves its Native Force, And gives a pleasant Flavour to Discourse, By making all our Spirits Deboniar, Throws of the Lees, the Sedement of Care. But as the greatest Blessing Heaven lendsMay be debauch'd, and serve ignoble Ends;So, but too oft, the Grapes refreshing Juice, Does many mischievous Effects produce, My House, shou'd no such rude Disorders... know, As from high Drinking consequently flow, Nor wou'd I use what was so kindly giv'n, To the Dishonour of Indulgent Heav'n. If any Neighbour came he shou'd be free, }Us'd with Respect, and not uneasy be, }In my Retreat, or to himself or me. }What Freedom, Prudence, and Right Reason give, All Men may with impunity receive;But the least swerving from their Rules too much, For what's forbiden us, 'tis Death to touch. That Life might be more comfortable yet, And all my Joys refin'd, sincere and great, I'd chuse too Friends, whose Company wou'd beA great Advance to my Felicity.
