Poem by Thomas Urquhart
Epigrams. The Third Booke. № 4. That Lust, and drunkennesse are odious vices
Wrath makes a man to sin couragiously,
And pride doth swell with faire appearances:
Page 41 But drunkenesse, and too much Leacherie
Are sloven, filthie, villanous, and base;
For by the one Gods image being exil'd,
His Temple by the other is defil'd.
