Ode 1.20 -

Imitated. — To a Friend.

Dear Tom accept my humble juice,
And with it my good will,
The best that Ramsey can produce
From barley and his still.

Cork'd in my jar that joyful day,
When echo shook your shore,
And John, by edict, ope'd the way
To pass Suir's river o'er.

I know you quaff rich Bourdeaux wine,
None such my bins afford;
Let mirth and whiskey punch combine
To grace my frugal board.
