THE POET'S INSPIRATION by CRATINUS

First Line: IF WITH WATER YOU FILL UP YOUR GLASSES
Last Line: WHICH HURRIES A BARD TO THE SKIES.
Subject(s): CREATIVE ABILITY; DRINKS & DRINKING; INSPIRATION; CREATIVITY; WINE;
If with water you fill up your glasses
You'll never write anything wise;
For wine is the horse of Parnassus,
Which hurries a bard to the skies.
