PERSICOS ODI.
Lady, if the project please thee,
And the time convenient be,
I propose to-night to tease thee
With my company at tea.
And the time convenient be,
I propose to-night to tease thee
With my company at tea.
No luxurious preparation
For my entertainment make;
Viand rare, or choice potation,—
Crumpet—muffin—butter'd cake.
For my entertainment make;
Viand rare, or choice potation,—
Crumpet—muffin—butter'd cake.
Household smiles and friendly greeting,
Conversation frank and free,—
These will make a pleasant meeting—
These are what I ask of thee.
Conversation frank and free,—
These will make a pleasant meeting—
These are what I ask of thee.
