AD PYRRHAM

QUIS multa gracilis te puer in rosa

Perfusus liquidis urget odoribus

Grato, Pyrrha, sub antro?

Cui flavam religas comam

Simplex munditiis? Heu quoties fidem

Mutatosque deos flebit, et aspera

AD HIBERNIAM

REDOLENT of 'Jockey Club,'

Pliant as a lath,

Is the boy you now decoy

Down the primrose path.

Him with neatly braided locks

Lovingly you lure,

Clad in green, and in your mien

Studiously demure.

Soon from off the gingerbread

Vanishes the gilt :

Ere the year be spent and sere

You will prove a jilt.

Nigris æquora ventis

Emirabitur insolens,

Qui nunc te fruitur credulus aurea,

Qui semper vacuam, semper amabilem

Sperat, nescius auræ

Fallacis

Miseri quibus

Intentata nites Me tabula sacer

Votiva paries indicat uvida

Do I blame him? No, not I ;

[blocks in formation]

Suspendisse potenti

Vestimenta maris deo.
