This, for such as these the present Times, I see expedient |
|
|
Winecup and love and loveling I'll nevermore forsake |
|
|
Flask in hand and verse-reciting, Warm with wine and laughing-eyed |
|
|
Each man of happy sight, who would The way of heart's content fare |
|
|
No account of thee thou writest, Past although is many a day |
|
|
He, in whom desire of traffic With thy down, my sweet, shall be |
|
|
The Wine-seller old to gladden, The Easterly breeze hath come |
|
|
Fragrance, East Wind, from the pathway Which the fair doth wend, bring thou |
|
|
All compact of grace and beauty Is my loved one's moonlike face |
|
|
From the doorway of the winehouse Solace for our pain seek we |
