Inebriety And The Candidate is a book written by George Crabbe, a renowned English poet and writer. The book is a satirical poem that explores the theme of political corruption and the influence of alcohol on political candidates. The poem tells the story of a candidate who is preparing to run for office. However, he is plagued by his addiction to alcohol, which threatens to derail his campaign. Despite his efforts to hide his addiction, it becomes increasingly apparent to those around him. Through his witty and insightful writing, Crabbe exposes the hypocrisy and moral decay that often accompanies political campaigns. He also highlights the dangers of alcoholism and the negative impact it can have on individuals and society as a whole. Overall, Inebriety And The Candidate is a thought-provoking and entertaining read that offers a unique perspective on the world of politics and the human condition. It is a must-read for anyone interested in literature, politics, or social commentary.Intoxication flies, as fury fled, On rooky pinions quits the aching head; Returning reason cools the fiery blood, And drives from memory's seat the rosy god. Yet still he holds o'er some his maddening rule. Still sways his sceptre, and still knows his fool; Witness the livid lip, and fiery front.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
