ANACREONTICS.
Is the mate to your long-throated bottle.
And the curve of the lip adds a zest to your sip
(Like the cream on a strawberry pottle),
But after your meat you must eat nothing sweet;
Then I bet you don't stir from the spot till
Perforce you stop at the last, last drop, like a true Parnassus climber,
And leave a very empty flask that held the brave Hochheimer.
