11Vulcan provide me such a cup, Vulcan contrive me such a Cup,
22As Nestor used of old;As Nestor us'd of old;
33Try all your art to trim it up, Shew all thy skill to trim it up,
44And damask it round with gold.Damask it round with Gold.
55
66Carve me thereon a curling vine,Make it so large, that fill'd with Sack,
7A lovely girl and boy:
8Their limbs in am'rous folds intwine,
9The type of future joy.
10
11Make it so large, when fill'd with Sack,
127Up to the swelling brim,Up to the swelling brim,
138That toasts in that delicious lakeVast Toasts, on the delicious Lake,
149Like ships at sea may swim.Like Ships at Sea may swim.
1510
1611Bacchus and Venus my guardians are,Engrave no Battail on his Cheek,
1712Let wine and beauty reign!With War, I've nought to do;
1813With wine we'll drive away all care,I'm none of those that took Mastrich,
1914And then to love again.Nor Yarwouth Leager knew.
15
16Let it no name of Planets tell.
17Fixt Stars, or Constellations;
18For I am no Sir Sydrophell,
19Nor none of his Relations.
20
21But carve thereon a spreading Vine,
22Then add Two lovely Boys;
23Their Limbs in Amorous folds intwine,
24The Type of future joys.
25
26Cupid, and Bacchus, my Saints are,
27May drink, and Love, still reign,
28With Wine, I wash away my cares,
29And then to Cunt again.
