IN PRAISE OF GOOD PORT.
No gentleman's callar Oporto should lack,
For it comforts the brain and it strengthens the back; The lungs it assists, and affords beyond question The very best means of promoting digestion.

To the ear it gives tune, to the eyesight fresh vigour, And the scarecrow expands to a corpulent figure, No medicine, in case of a languid sensation, Can so pleasantly quicken a slow circulation.
It drives the blue devils and sorrows away; And makes a man witty, light hearted and gay: Imparting new fibre and power to the whole, New force to the body, new strength to the soul. And thus it becomes to a weak constitution The Elixir of life in a state of solution.”
