ANTHOLOGIA.

TRANSLATION.

[_]

The attribution of this poem is questionable.

With simplest fare my cloth is spread;
Nor gold nor silver grace my board;
No tapestry round this humble shed
Enthrones in state its purple lord:—
My Friend, a soul at ease is mine;
I boast to serve a gentle Muse,
And o'er my roof the clust'ring vine
Pours for that friend its mellowest juice.
