Nor cheer of mind that I was wont to have.

I am known to be a humorous patrician, and one that loves a cup of hot wine with not a drop of allaying Tiber in’t; said to be something imperfect in favoring the first complaint; hasty and tinder-like upon too trivial motion; one that converses more with the buttock of the night than with the forehead of the morning.
– William Shakespeare, English poet and writer, (1564-1616) in Coriolanus

Wine, one sip of this will bathe the drooping spirits in delight beyond the bliss of dreams. Be wise and taste.

Bacchus, that first from out the purple grape,
Crushed the sweet poison of misused wine.

But that which most doth take my muse and me,
Is a pure cup of rich Canary wine,
Which is the mermaid’s now, but shall be mine.

-Ben Jonson, English playwright, (1573-1637)

Drink to me only with thine eyes,
And I will pledge with mine;
Or leave a kiss but in the cup,
And I’ll not look for wine.
–Ben Jonson, English playwright, (1573-1637) in To Celia
