I remember it as Since he's dined on the wine of the rich. "Since he's been the wine of the rich" makes little sense. But if that's how H. Allen Smith has it, that's what it must have been. If you have a chance, you might look at Smith's "Life in a Putty Knife Factory." It's better than "Lost in the Horse Latitudes." Are you sure you’ve got the second line right?

Thank you. Some lines of this have been going through my head today, and I’m glad to find the whole poem, with HAS’s comments, just as I remember them from Horse Latitudes. Thank you.
