從這首詩似乎可以看出詩人是把flask和wine聯係在一起的。 （直譯：酒的好壞不取決於盛置的容器。）

A Toad, can die of Light –

 

A Toad, can die of Light –
Death is the Common Right
Of Toads and Men –
Of Earl and Midge
The privilege –
Why swagger, then?
The Gnat's supremacy is large as Thine –


Life – is a different Thing –
So measure Wine –
Naked of Flask – Naked of Cask –
Bare Rhine –
Which Ruby’s mine?
