And I’m by pox and wine’s unlucky chance
Forced from the pleasing billows of debauch

When fleets of glasses sail about the board,
From whose broadsides volleys of wit shall rain.”

To that stern colour and that delicate line
That are our secret discipline
Wherein the gazing heart doubles her might....”
