scoffers
«This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance: / That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour: / Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, / And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.»
«GRAPE, n.Hail noble fruit! --by Homer sung, Anacreon and Khayyam; Thy praise is ever on the tongue Of better men than I am.The lyre in my hand has never swept, The song I cannot offer: My humbler service pray accept -- I'll help to kill the scoffer.The water-drinkers and the cranks Who load their skins with liquor -- I'll gladly bear their belly-tanks And tap them with my sticker.Fill up, fill up, for wisdom cools When e'er we let the wine rest. Here's death to Prohibition's fools, And every kind of vine-pest! --Jamrach Holobom»
