Wine, wine in a morning makes us frollick and gay
that like eagles we soar in the pride of the day;
Gouty sots in hte night only find a decay.

'Tis the sun ripes the grape and to drinking gives light:
We imitate him when by noon we're at height;
They steal wine who take it when he's out of sight.

Boy, fill all the glasses, fill 'em up now he shines,
The higher he rises, the more he refines;
But wine and wit palls as their maker declines.
