[Anacreon, the ladies say]
Anacreon, the ladies sayYour pate is bald, your beard is gray!
Take you a looking-glass—forsooth,
You'll find that what they say is truth.
But whether it be truth or not,
As little do I care as wot;
But this I know—'tis best to rime
Thus o'er my jokes while suits the time.
