Give Women, Wine, and Snuff
Until I cry out, ‘Hold, enough!’
You may do so sans objection
Till the day of resurrection;
For, bless my beard, they eye shall be
My beloved Trinity.

John Keats original preface and dedication met with strong objections from J. H. Reynolds, and his publisher, Taylor and Hessey.
The original dedication read: “with every feeling of pride and regret
and with a bowed mind, to the memory of the most English of poets
except Shakespeare, Thomas Chatterton.” 19 of March 1818.
