AN ADAGE FROM THE ORIENT
At the punch-bowl's brink,
Let the thirsty think
What they say in Japan:
Let the thirsty think
What they say in Japan:
“First the man takes a drink,
Then the drink takes a drink,
Then the drink takes the man!”
Then the drink takes a drink,
Then the drink takes the man!”
| The poetical works of Edward Rowland Sill | |
