    Of noble enterprise,
    For if you do but taste his blood,
    'Twill make your courage rise,

The mountain's top, his lofty haven,
And all the passengers read more

So Noah, when he anchor'd safe on
The mountain's top, his lofty haven,
And all the passengers he bore

To plant and propagate a vine,
Which since has overwhelm'd and drown'd
Far greater number, on dry ground,
Of wretched mankind, one by one,
Than all the flood before had done.

And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his
face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart.
