Enter you that rave with madness:
Enter you that sigh with sadness,
And receive the oyl of gladness
In the Vine.

Here's the mystery of the Muses;
Here's the Font Mæcenas uses;
Here wit gains what ere it loses.
Noble Wine.

Here's the Laurel, here's the Bayes,
Here's the sum of Poets praise,
Heare's the cream of Pæans rayes.
Famous liquor.

Here's th' Arsenal whence do spring
Presents worthy for a King.
Here my fancies tender wing
Thriveth quicker.
