A Selection from the Lyrical Poems of Robert Herrick

222. 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.
