Austin Dobson.
TRIOLET, AFTER CATULLUS.
"Jucundum, mea vita."
Happy, my Life, the love you proffer,
Eternal as the gods above;
With such a wealth within my coffer,
Happy my life. The love you proffer,—
If your true heart sustains the offer,-
Will prove the Koh-i-noor of love;
Happy my life! The love you proffer,
Eternal as the gods above!
Edmund Gosse.
Easy is the Triolet,
If you really learn to make it!
Once a neat refrain you get,
Easy is the Triolet.
As you see!-I pay my debt
With another rhyme. Deuce take it,
Easy is the Triolet,
If you really learn to make it!
W. E. Henley.
