AN ODE IN THE MANNER OF ANACREON, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: As late in wreaths gay flowers I bound
Last Line: Flutt'ring his wings within my breast!


As late in wreaths gay flowers I bound,
Beneath some roses LOVE I found,
And by his little frolic pinion
As quick as thought I seiz'd the minion,
Then in my Cup the prisoner threw,
And drank him in its sparkling dew:
And sure I feel my angry Guest
Flutt'ring his Wings within my breast!
