| BACCHUS must now his power resign— | |
| I am the only God of Wine! | |
| It is not fit the wretch should be | |
| In competition set with me, | |
| Who can drink ten times more than he. | 5 |
| Make a new world, ye powers divine! | |
| Stock'd with nothing else but Wine: | |
| Let Wine its only product be, | |
| Let Wine be earth, and air, and sea— | |
| And let that Wine be all for me! | 10 |
