Classic Poem

Old Braggart, An

I am old and I drink more than the young men; if I want to dance I will imitate Silenus in public and dance with a wine-jar for a staff — a reed is useless.
And if I want to fight I will fight and win too! Slave, bring me a cup filled with sweet honey-coloured wine.
I am old and I drink more than the young men.EnglishShort Poems
