, on his Cape Wine.

1 Your Wine, by Southern Suns refin'd,
2 Is a just Emblem of your Mind:
3 Like You, the gen'rous Juice displays
4 Its Influence a thousand Ways;
5 Like You, it raises sinking Hearts,
6 Inspiring, and rewarding Arts;
7 Dispels the Spleen, and conquers Pain,
8 Calls back departing Life again.
