DRINKING SONG, by AVENZOAR First Line: A house well supplied Last Line: Are devils, and worse! Alternate Author Name(s): Abu Marwun `abd Ad-malik Ibn Abi Al-`ala' Zuhr; Ibn Zuhr | |||
A house well supplied, A door ever wide, Good wine in the cask, A pitcher, a flask. A friend of delight To greet with the night, His manners all charm, His kisses no harm. And if he deny Or bid up too high, The cup and the purse Are devils, and worse! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE CHAPERON by HENRY CUYLER BUNNER AN ARCTIC VISION [JUNE 20, 1867] by FRANCIS BRET HARTE HYMN OF THE WEST by EDMUND CLARENCE STEDMAN THE BROOK; AN IDYL by ALFRED TENNYSON THE EVE OF BANNOCKBURN by JOHN BARBOUR LILIES: 30.
