ANACREONTICS.
If Clara in her blooming youth
Were teasing me with kisses.
Since life is short and care is long,
This aim the wise can boast of,
The time that will not spare us long,
We mean to make the most of;
Then drop your scruples, youngster do!
Come up here to our jolly crew,
Like sunlight on the mountain.
