ODE by ANACREON

First Line: YES - LOVING IS A PAINFUL THRILL
Last Line: BECAUSE I LOVE TO DRINK TOO.
Subject(s): DRINKS & DRINKING; WINE;

EARTH is a thirsty drinker,
The trees drink from its bosom,
The ocean drinks the wet winds,
The fiery sun the ocean,
The moon drinks in the sun's light.
Then why, my friends, be angry,
Because I love to drink too.
