On Bib
From Clarastella (1650), Epigrams, Lib. 1
Social Commentaries
Bibs in a feaver alwaies, hot and drie,
Yet I ne'r saw him sick: the reason why?
Lifes liquor sack he drinks, whose healthful sp'rit
Expels both sickness, death, and fear of it.
Oh never dying juyce of th' pow'rful vine!
Thou makst men like thy Immortal self, divine.
