THE BARD’S REQUEST.
Give me wine, Hint I may drink To the bottom from the brink Death pnto the thoughts I trunk; As the dry earth drinks the rain, Let me drink to drown their pain. Give mo music while it flows Wilder than the wind' that blows When the tall trees rock their boughs; To the sweet swirl of its sound Let the rosy wine run round. More than this my life to cheer Need I crave while I am here? Give mo something twice a e dear— Give to me. all else above. Thin—a faithful woman’s love. Suspect the neighbour who triee to placate your watch-dog.
