To Sir Annual Tilter

XXIX.
 ? TO SIR ANNUAL TILTER.
   
  TILTER, the most may admire thee, though not I ;
  And thou, right guiltless, may'st plead to it, 
              Why ?
 For thy late sharp device.
  I say 'tis fit
  All brains, at times of triumph, should run wit :
 For then our water-conduits do run wine ;
  But that's put in, thou'lt say.
  Why, so is thine.


 [AJ Notes:
put in.
.
.
thine, playing on two different definitions of "put in": 
         first, "interjected", second, "stored away".
