RAUZAN MARGAUX.
TO GEORGE W. CURTIS.
(Easter Sunday, 1872.)
I.
O sage sentiment and sober!
O grave Malatromba of ours!
Come, cease to look stiff as a crowbar!
Come, strew your life's pathway with flowers!
But waste no bad claret your cash on;
For here is a brand you don't know;
'Tis only just coming in fashion;
They call it the Rauzan Margaux!
