' G REEK F/RE." i

Three cups of wine a prudent man may take : The first o( these for constitution's sake ; I The second to the girl be loves the best; The third (and last) to lull him to his rest; 1 Then home to bed 1 But if a fourth he pours, « That is the cup of folly, and not ours. ; Loud, noisy talking on the filth attends ; The 6ixth breeds feuds and falling out of friends ; Seven begets blows and faces stained with gore ; I Eight—and the watch-patrol breaks ope the door ; i Mad with the ninth another cup goes round, And the swilled sot falls senseless on the ground. [Tiberius.] 1
