Poem by Robert Herrick

A Hymn to Bacchus

Bacchus, let me drink no more!
Wild are seas that want a shore!
When our drinking has no stint,
There is no one pleasure in't.
I have drank up for to please
Thee, that great cup, Hercules.
Urge no more; and there shall be
Daffadils giv'n up to thee.

4. The Rock of Rubies, and the Quarry of Pearls
5. His Last Request to Julia
