    The music, and the banquet, and the wine--
    The garlands, the rose odors, and the flowers,
    The sparkling eyes, and flashing ornaments--
    The white arms and the raven hair--the braids,
    And bracelets; swan-like bosoms, and the necklace,
    An India in itself, yet dazzling not.

We keep the day. With festal cheer,
With books and music, surely we
Will drink to him, whate'er he be,
And sing the songs he loved to hear.

And Belgium's capital had gather'd then
Her Beauty and her Chivalry, and bright
The lamps shone o'er fair women and brave men.

Whereto I have invited many a guest,
Such as I love; and you among the store,
One more, most welcome, makes my number more.

Let us have wine and woman, mirth and laughter,
Sermons and soda-water the day after.

Our snug and pleasant party?
