What, have these dry lips drank

So deep of the sweets of pleasure—

Sub rosa,[577] but quite without measure—

That Montepulciano tastes rank?

Come, drink![578] ’twill bring the streaks

Of crimson back to your cheeks;[579]

Come, drink again to the saint[580]

Whose virtues you loved to paint,

Who stretched on her wifely bed,

With the tender gray expression
