“Yet I would bear my shortcomings
With meet tranquility,
But for the charge that blessed things
Id liefer not have be.

Go earth-bound wilfully!”

But an eternal health goes round.
Fill up the bowl, then, fill it high,
Fill all the glasses therefor why
Should every creature drink but I?
Why, man of morals, tell me why?”
