D
Drunken, bedecked with garlands,
Like a white, sacrificial bull?
Laugh, then!
So Cypris, laughing, shake one petal down
From her rose-braided hair!
Honeyed with kisses, be profuse
The glowing purple that brims up this gold!
Laugh then, and mock, but kiss me: for what man
Would come among ye sober?
Wise, I come,
Borne on Silenus’ ass to praise Eros.
