Wine Does Wonders
John Eccles, 1650-1735
Wine does wonders every day,
Makes the heavy light and gay,
Throws off all their melancholy,
Makes the wisest go astray,
And the busy toy and play,
And the poor and needy jolly.
Wine makes trembling cowards bold,
Men in years forget they're old,
Women leave their coy disdaining,
Who till then were shy and cold,
Makes the niggard slight his gold,
And the foppish entertaining.
