Lyrical June 11 - Inscription on a Goblet

An 18th century warning on the evils of drink!

There's Death in the cup, so beware!
Nay more - there is danger in touching;
But who can avoid the fell snare,
The man and his wine's so bewitching!

Robbie Burns (1759-1796)

I'll remember this quote when I have drink tomorrow evening. A wonderful photo to go with the quote. V.

That's certainly an interesting quotation you found. Hopefully I'll only find some relaxation and not death in my cup tonight. :)
