Wine alone can procure us fome reft*
Exempt from, <&r.
Great influence has wine over love,
And the coy can make kinder to prove ;
Though the nymph very flighting denies,
It difcovers the truth in her eyes.
Exempt from, &c.
It can make us all heroes in brief,
And the wretched forget all his grief 5
It inspires the gallant and br^e,
And freedom can give to the flave*
Chorus.
Exempt from excife, our joys higher rife,
Still drinking, ne'er thinking of what is to pay ;
Our botde at night gives us joy and delight,
And drowns all the droufy fatigues of the day.

To fay how long our love Will laft j
It may be we within this hour
May lofe the joys we now do tafte :
The bleifed, that .immortal be,
From change in love are only free.
Then fmce we mortal lovers are,
Aflc not how long our love will lafi ;
But while it does, let us take care
Each minute be with pleafure pall s
