THE DUENNA: THE FRIAR'S CHORUS by RICHARD BRINSLEY SHERIDAN

First Line: THIS BOTTLE'S THE SUN OF OUR TABLE
Last Line: AND SHINE AS HE GOES ROUND.
Subject(s): DRINKS & DRINKING; WINE;
This bottle's the sun of our table,
His beams are rosy wine:
We, planets that are not able
Without his help to shine.
Let mirth and glee abound!
You'll soon grow bright
With borrowed light,
And shine as he goes round.
