From Julian.
In Imitation of Anacreon.
As roses in a wreath I bound,
Love among the flow'rs I found:
Seizing fast this foe of mine;
And immersing deep in wine;
Straight, in hand, I took the cup;
Straight I drank the wanton up.
Love among the flow'rs I found:
Seizing fast this foe of mine;
And immersing deep in wine;
Straight, in hand, I took the cup;
Straight I drank the wanton up.
Now the idle-flutt'ring guest
Up and down my bosom springs,
Teazing, tickling, without rest,
With the feathers of his wings.
Up and down my bosom springs,
Teazing, tickling, without rest,
With the feathers of his wings.
