Who his cups can stoutly bear

Who his cups can stoutly bear,
In his cups despiseth fear,
In his cups can nimbly dance,
Him Lyeus will advance:
Nectar of us mortals Wine,
The glad off spring of the Vine,
Skreen'd with leaves, preserv'd within
The plump Grapes transparent skin,
In the Body all diseases,
In the Soul all grief appeases.
