 Young Bacchus started in the trade, and set up opposition; He gave his foes no end of fits, and gave his friends their wishes. Made women tear their king to bits, and turned men into fishes; Raised Ariadne to the skies, and 'verted all the East, But Johnston's doings more surprise the sharers of his feast. He turned us all to demi-gods with such a punch as this, And took us up, with a loving cup, to the seventh heaven of bliss.
