ANACREONTICS.
Which makes the Deutscher, like a rock, stand through the thickest fight?
Or call we it a precious stone, a very gem of drink,
A jewel bright in dusky case when glasses gaily clink?
Come, work it out by algebra, you all-accomplished man.
Or rhyme it out in goodly verse, if rhyme it out you can.
Or play it in a symphony of solemn swelling sound,
Or in the dozen tongues you speak the mystery expound,
We will not quarrel with the name, whatever first it meant,
