Page 88 - Divine repast! Where no crude surfeit, or intemperate joys Of lawless Bacchus reign; but o'er my soul A calm Lethean creeps; in drowsy trance Each thought subsides, and sweet oblivion wraps My peaceful brain, as if the leaden rod Of magic Morpheus o'er mine eyes had shed Its opiate influence. What though sore ills Oppress, dire want of chill-dispelling coals, Or cheerful candle (save the make-weight's gleam Haply remaining), heart-rejoicing ale Cheers the sad scene, and every want supplies.
