William Cowper - Epigram
Work rating: Low

To purify their wine some people bleed 
A lamb into the barrel, and succeed;
No nostrum, planters say, is half so good
To make fine sugar, as a negro`s blood.
Now lambs and negroes both are harmless things,
And thence perhaps this wondrous virtue springs.
`Tis in the blood of innocence alone--
Good cause why planters never try their own.
