O Man! what Inspiration was thy Guide,
Who taught thee Light and Air thus to divide;
To let in all the useful Beams of Day,
Yet force, as subtil Winds, without thy Shash to stay;
T`extract from Embers by a strange Device,
Then polish fair these Flakes of solid Ice;
Which, silver`d o`er, redouble all in place,
And give thee back thy well or ill-complexion`d Face.
To Vessels blown exceed the gloomy Bowl,
Which did the Wine`s full excellence controul,
These shew the Body, whilst you taste the Soul.
Its colour sparkles Motion, lets thee see,
Tho` yet th` Excess the Preacher warns to flee,
Lest Men at length as clearly spy through Thee.
