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...ARMAGEDDON by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON SHALL I SAY by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON TO HENRY LINCOLN JOHNSON - LAWYER by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON BEFORE THE FLOWERS OF FRIENDSHIP FADED FADED: 21 by GERTRUDE STEIN VERSES SUPPOSED TO BE WRITTEN BY ALEXANDER SELKIRK by WILLIAM COWPER |
