TRUTH by ROWLAND EYLES EGERTON-WARBURTON

First Line: TRUTH, THEY SAY, LIES IN A WELL
Last Line: "IS THE ""VERITAS IN VINO."
Subject(s): DRINKS & DRINKING; TRUTH; WINE;
TRUTH, they say, lies in a well:
The truth of that I cannot tell;
Where nothing is except cold water,
There I never yet have sought her;
And the only truth that I know
Is the "Veritas in vino."
