Vile potabis
Reynaldo Hahn
In my inexpensive goblets
Do you wish to try my humble wine?
I sealed it in the Attic urn
On leaving the Sabine press.
It is a little harsh and new;
Neither Caecuban, Calenian, nor Falernian wines
Mature in my wine-cellar;
But the Muses are friendly to me,
And the Muses help me forget
Your golden vines, oh Formian hills!
