Persicos odi, puer, Apparatus.

I

I hate, my Boy! the Persian Pride;
Eternal Greens in Garlands ty'd:
And for the Rose, thy Search forbear,
To crop the latest of the Year.

To simple Myrtle stand confin'd,
'Tis fit the Servants Brows to bind;
'Tis fit the Masters Brows to twine,
Who drinks beneath the shady Vine.
