Subject(s): Drinks & Drinking; Wine


Care! thou canker of our joys,
Now thy tyrant reign is o'er!
Fill the merry bowl, my boys!
Join in bacchanalian roar!'

Seize the villain! plunge him in!
See, the hated miscreant dies!
Mirth and all thy train, come in!
Banish Sorrow, Tears, and Sighs!

O'er the flowing midnight bowls,
Oh, how happy we shall be!
Day was made for vulgar souls;
Night, my boys, for you and me!
William Grant.
