"Come, lusty Lyda, fill's a cup of sack,

And, sirrah drawer, bigger pots we lack,

And Scio wines that have so good a smack."

I say with him in [4313]A. Gellius, "let us maintain the vigour of our souls with a moderate cup of wine," [4314]Natis in usum laetitiae scyphis, "and drink to refresh our mind; if there be any cold sorrow in it, or torpid bashfulness, let's wash it all away."—Nunc vino pellite curas; so saith [4315]Horace, so saith Anacreon,

"[Greek: Methuonta gar me keisthai polu kreisson ae thanonta.]"
