Id.
By a Ravenna, Vintner once betray’d,
So much for Wine and Water mix’d I

But when I thought the purchas’d Li-
quor mine,
The Rascal fobb’d me off with only
Wine.

Dye,
May with the proudest 'Tyrian Purple vie.
Fountain Water is still very scarce at
Ravenna.^ and was probably much more
so, when the Sea was within its Neigh-
bourhood.
