Wine Bibber I would rather drink than eat, And though I superbly sup, Food, I feel, can never beat Delectation of the cup. Wine it is that crowns the feast; Fish and fowl and fancy meat Are of my delight the least: I would rather drink than eat.
Though no Puritan I be, And have doubts of Kingdom Come, With those fellows I agree Who deplore the Demon Rum. Gin and brandy I decline, And I shy at whisky neat; But give me rare vintage wine,-- Gad! I'd rather drink than eat.
You do lead me on.....

I would rather drink than eat,
And though I superbly sup,
Food, I feel, can never beat
Delectation of the cup.
Wine it is that crowns the feast;
Fish and fowl and fancy meat
Are of my delight the least:
I would rather drink than eat.
Though no Puritan I be,
And have doubts of Kingdom Come,
With those fellows I agree
Who deplore the Demon Rum.
Gin and brandy I decline,
And I shy at whisky neat;
But give me rare vintage wine,--
Gad! I'd rather drink than eat.

"The Bard of the Yukon" very good - I had to look him up - interesting.
