[Wine in the Morning; a Catch.]
A. 3. Voc.
Mr. Henry Purcell.
[ 66] 〈♫〉〈♫〉 WIne, Wine in a Morning makes us Frolick and Gay, that like Eagles we soar in the
〈♫〉〈♫〉 Pride of the Day, Gouty Sots in the Night on╌ly find a decay. 'Tis the Sun ripes the Grape, and to
〈♫〉〈♫〉 Drinking gives light, we i╌mi╌tate him when by Noon we're at height, they steal Wine, who take it when
〈♫〉〈♫〉 he's out of sight. Boy, fill all the Glasses, fill 'em up now he shines; the higher he rises, the
〈♫〉〈♫〉 more he refines; but Wine and Wit palls, as their Maker declines.
