Nature's Wines.

Malago Wits, which Pens do broach or peirce,
If strong, run strait into Heroick Verse;
Sharp Claret Satyr searching runs about
The Veins of Vice, before it passes out,
And makes the Blood of Virtue fresh to spring
In noble Minds, fair Truths Complexions bring;

165

But all high Fancy is in Brandy Wits ,
A Fiery heat in Understanding sits.
 

Strong-waters.
