XXXV + 

Upon the table in a trice + 

Of widow Clicquot or Moet + 

A blessed bottle, placed in ice, + 

For the young poet they display. + 

Like Hippocrene it scatters light, + 

Its ebullition foaming white + 

(Like other things I could relate) + 

My heart of old would captivate. + 

The last poor obol I was worth⁠— + 

Was it not so?⁠—for thee I gave, + 

And thy inebriating wave + 

Full many a foolish prank brought forth; + 

And oh! what verses, what delights, + 

Delicious visions, jests and fights! + 
