A Catch

2. You merry Poets[,] old Boyes
   Of Aganippes Well,
  Full many tales have told boyes
   Whose liquor doth excell,
  And how that place was haunted
  By those that love good wine;
  Who tipled there, and chaunted
  Among the Muses nine:
  Where still they cry’d[,] drink clear, boyes,
  And you shall quickly know it,
  That ’tis not lowzy Beer, boyes,
  But wine, that makes a Poet.

[p. 66.]
