Explore "Ode from Anacreon" by Thomas James Wise on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
The earth to drink does not disdain, / The trees drink of the earth full fain.
Of the light air the sea drinks free, / The red sun drinketh from the sea,
And the red sun, at pride of noon, / I've seen drunk up by the pale moon.
Then why, friend, with me prove in ire, / That I to drink too feel desire?
