Poem by Matthew Prior

Upon This Passage In Scaligeriana

When you with High-Dutch Heeren dine,
Expect false Latin and stum'd wine:
They never taste who always drink;
They always talk who never think. 

1. A Song (In vain you tell your parting lover)
2. An Ode - Inscribed to the Memory of the Hon. Colonel George Villiers
3. An Ode - Presented to the King, on His Majesty's Arrival in Holland, after the Queen's Death
4. If Wine and Music Have the Power
5. A Sailor's Wife
