Classic Poem

Vulcan , contrive me such a Cup
As Nestor us'd of old,
Shew all thy Skill to trim it up,
Damask it round with Gold.

Make it so large, that fill'd with Sack
Up to the swelling Brim,
Vast Toasts on the delicious Lake,
Like Ships at Sea may swim.

Engrave no Battle on his Cheek,
With War I've nought to do,
I'm none of those that took Mastrich ,
Nor Yarmouth Leaguer knew.

Let it no Name of Planets tell,
Fix'd Stars, or Constellation;
For I am no Sir Sydrophel ,
Nor none of his Relation.

But Carve thereon a spreading Vine,
Then add two lovely Boys,
Their Limbs in Amorous Folds entwine,
The Type of future Joys.

Cupid and Bacchus my Saints are,
May Drink and Love still reign,
With Wine I wash away my Cares,
And then to Cunt again.
