Abraham Cowley - Drinking lyrics

The thirsty earth soaks up the rain And drinks, and gapes for drink again The plants s** in the earth, and are With constant drinking fresh and fair The sea itself, which one would think Should have but little need of drink Drinks ten thousand rivers up So filled that they o'erflow the cup The busy sun (and one would guess By's drunken, fiery face no less) Drinks up the sea, and when he's done The moon and stars drink up the sun They drink and dance by their own light ; They drink and revel all the night Nothing in nature's sober found But an eternal health goes round Fill up the bowl, then, fill it high Fill all the gla**es there, for why Should every creature drink but I ? Why, man of morals, tell me why ?
