DRINKING SONG, by AVENZOAR First Line: A house well supplied Last Line: Are devils, and worse! Alternate Author Name(s): Abu Marwun `abd Ad-malik Ibn Abi Al-`ala' Zuhr; Ibn Zuhr | |||
A house well supplied, A door ever wide, Good wine in the cask, A pitcher, a flask. A friend of delight To greet with the night, His manners all charm, His kisses no harm. And if he deny Or bid up too high, The cup and the purse Are devils, and worse! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WHAT DO I CARE by SARA TEASDALE TALES OF A WAYSIDE INN: THE THIRD DAY: AZRAEL by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW SURCEASE by ALICE GARDNER ADAMS RARE INTERVALS by CHARLOTTE LOUISE BERTLESEN STANE STREET by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN VERSES TO J.
