LV.

You know, my Friends, with what a brave Carouse
I made a Second Marriage in my house;
    Divorced old barren Reason from my Bed,
And took the Daughter of the Vine to Spouse.

And “UP-AND-DOWN” by Logic I define,
    Of all that one should care to fathom, I
was never deep in anything but—Wine.
