An Enthusiasm to Amanda feasting.
Come fill a glasse with the best blood o'th' Vine,Troth it looks well; 'tis a fresh vaulting wine:
A perfum'd Nectar, yet beyond compare,
Amanda's lips more brisk and lively are;
See, see, here's pretty Hebe brings from Jove
A golden Cup fill'd to the brims in love!
Amongst the tipling gods, me thinks I see
Blithe purple-fac't Augustus drink to thee:
Come, ye immortal Feasters, quaffe it round,
With heads in stead of hats flung to the ground;
Lay down your godheads in idolatrie,
Turne Priests to my Amanda's Deity;
Ne'er fear to stoop and change your selves to men,
Amanda can create you gods agen.
