TRILOGIA HARVARDINI.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

[This poem, from an old collection in the Library, supposed to be of the Augustan age, has been sent to the Magenta, as one more proof of our great resemblance to the ancients in our pleasures as well as in our severer traits, - EDS.]

I.

HARVARDINUS, amicis quibusdam in cubiculum arcessitis, aliquot calices, sina ampulasque, in mensam point, et hilariter canit: -

Potate sodales, ne parcite vino,

Bibite dulcius nectar divino.

Fundite lncidum flente de sino,

Flente videndo fundentem.

Nos pueri scimus unum aut duo;

Merita vino, O nunquam abnuo!

Quisquis abstinuit corde se suo

Putat per vitam amentem.

Poculum tollo sub lampade clara.

Facite idem, videte avara

Vina manandi per labia cara.

Bibamus liquorem ardentem.
