TO BACCHUS, A CANTICLE.
by Robert Herrick


WHITHER dost thou whorry me,
Bacchus, being full of thee ?
This way, that way, that way, this,
Here and there a fresh love is.
That doth like me, this doth please,
Thus a thousand mistresses
I have now ; yet I alone,
Having all, enjoy not one.


Whorry, carry rapidly.
