When He would Have his Verses Read
In sober mornings do not thou rehearse
The holy incantation of a verse;
But when that men have both well drunk and fed,
Let my enchantment then be sung or read.
When laurel spurts i' the fire, and when the hearth
Smiles to itself and gilds the roof with mirth;
When up the Thyrse is raised, and when the sound
Of sacred Orgies flies around, around,
When the rose reigns, and locks with ointments shine,
Let rigid Cato read these lines of mine.
– Robert Herrick (1591-1674)
