[An envious, angry, sluggish, drunken Lover]
An envious, angry, sluggish, drunken Lover,His Passion, and his Vice at once discover;
A vicious Passion quickly will discover
An envious, angry, sluggish, drunken Lover;
A sluggish drunken Lover in a trice
Discovers both his Passion and his Vice;
His anger and his envy quickly be
Disclos'd by Wine, In Wine is Verity.
Desire of sloath, and lust of Wine may prove
An Antidote against the power of Love;
Anger and Envy, in one Breast confin'd,
Love ne're will stumble at, though Love is blind.
Who e're to Wrath or Envy will give place,
May he ne're meet with any chast Embrace.
Those that to Sloath and Wine addicted be,
May live with Epicurus, not with me.
