Bki:Xxxviii The Simple Myrtle Poem by Horace
Bki:Xxxviii The Simple Myrtle
Rating: ★2.7
My child, how I hate Persian ostentation,
garlands twined around lime-tree bark displease me:
forget your chasing, to find all the places
where late roses fade.
You’re eager, take care, that nothing enhances
the simple myrtle: it’s not only you that
it graces, the servant, but me as I drink,
beneath the dark vine.
