English poem
To A Lady, With A Present Of A Pair Of Drinking-Glasses.
by Robert Burns
Fair Empress of the Poet's soul, And Queen of Poetesses; Clarinda, take this little boon, This humble pair of glasses. And fill them high with generous juice, As generous as your mind; And pledge me in the generous toast— 'The whole of human kind!' 'To those who love us!'—second fill But not to those whom we love! Lest we love those who love not us! A third—'to thee and me, Love!':
