4. The Disguise
The fumes of over-frequent cups to hide
With scented bay her wine is qualified,
For simple water suits not Myrtale;
But when full veins and staggering gait you see,
You need not say, by outward signs misled,
" She looks on Bacchus' wine when it is red."
'Tis just as true and more polite to say,
" Our lady friend doth love Apollo's bay."
