Poet Analysis

First Line: THERE'S DEATH IN THE CUP - SAE BEWARE
Last Line: THE MAN AND HIS WINE'S SO BEWITCHING!
Subject(s): ALCOHOLISM & ALCOHOLICS; GLASSES (TUMBLERS); DRUNKARDS; ALCOHOL ABUSE;
There's Death in the cup, sae beware!
Nay, more -- there is danger in touching;
But who can avoid the fell snare,
The man and his wine's so bewitching!
