HOCHHEIMER.
Is there anything much sublimer
Than a jolly good glass of Hochheimer?
Of Bordeaux I always shall speak in terms of praise
(How nicely it and salmon go together!),
And it never is in vain to offer me Champagne,
However hot or cold be the weather,
Though I own I do not care a speech in Congress for Madeira,
While Sol is at his present intensity;
Pale Sherry, put in ice, for a glass or two, is nice—
Though Robeson says it is a proof of density
In mortal, young or old, to drink his sherry cold,
