Ode From Anacreon

The earth to drink does not disdain,
The trees drink of the earth full fain.

Of the light air the sea drinks free,
The red sun drinketh from the sea,

And the red sun, at pride of noon,
I’ve seen drunk up by the pale moon.

Then why, friend, with me prove in ire,
That I to drink too feel desire?
