ANACREON QUOTES II

Greek lyric poet (570 BC-488 BC)

Great Bacchus every trouble cures;
Then drink as long as life endures.
For, whilst we drain the rosy bowl,
'Tis all a sunshine of the soul!

ANACREON

Ode XXV, Odes


And last of all comes death.

Pretty Rose, thou gaudy flower,
Sacred to Love's almighty power,
Whence there's no Lover ever seeks,
But finds Thee in his Mistress' cheeks.
