A Peach Stone yields the Wine as fast,
And fills the Glass as high.

Bless'd by those lips, whose touch divine
Might wasting life repair;
To Nectar it converts the wine,
To gladness ev'ry care.

Give me that balm to ease my pain,
My Cordial when I faint;
And let the Relique still remain
To witness for the Saint.
