First Line: The man that is drunk, is void of all care
Last Line: And boldly defies bother the proctor and devil.
Subject(s): Alcoholism & Alcoholics; Horace (65-8 B.c.)
The Man that is Drunk, is Void of all Care;
He needs neither Parthian Quiver, or Spear,
The Moor's poison'd Dart he scorns for to wield,
His Bottle alone is his Weapon and Shield.
Undaunted he goes among Bullies and Whores,
Demolishes Windows, and breaks open Doors,
He revels all Night, is afraid of no Evil,
And boldly defies bother the Proctor and Devil.
