Boy! I detest all Persian fopperies, <br />Fillet-bound garlands are to me disgusting; <br />Task not thyself with any search, I charge thee, <br />Where latest roses linger. <br />Bring me alone (for thou wilt find that readily) <br />Plain myrtle. Myrtle neither will disparage <br />Thee occupied to serve me, or me drinking <br />Beneath my vine's cool shelter.<br /><br />William Cowper<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/horace-book-i-ode-xxxviii-2/
