draught quotes

Better to hunt in fields, for health unbought, Than fee the doctor for a nauseous draught. The wise, for cure, on exercise depend; God never made his work, for man to mend.

-Dryden,John
  Epistle,'To my honoured kinsman  John Driden', l.92^5.

O, for a draught of vintage! that hath been Cooled a long age in the deep-delved earth, Tasting of Flora and the country green, Dance, and Proven c° al song, and sunburnt mirth! O for a beaker full of the warm South, Full of the true, the blushful Hippocrene, With beaded bubbles winking at the brim, And purple-stained mouth; That I might drink, and leave the world unseen, And with thee fade away into the forest dim.

-Keats,John
  Lamia, Isabella, The Eve of St.  Agnes and Other Poems,'Ode to a Nightingale', stanza 2.

That cordial drop heaven in our cup has thrown To make the nauseous draught of life go down.

-Rochester,JohnWilmot, 2nd Earl of
c.1674  Of love.'A Letter from Artemisia in theTown to Chloe in the Country', l.44^5 (published1679).
