Eugene Field - To Maecenas
Work rating: Low

Than you, O valued friend of mine,
  A better patron _non est_!
Come, quaff my home-made Sabine wine,--
  You`ll find it poor but honest.

I put it up that famous day
  You patronized the ballet,
And the public cheered you such a way
  As shook your native valley.

Caecuban and the Calean brand
  May elsewhere claim attention;
But _I_ have none of these on hand,--
  For reasons I`ll not mention.


ENVOY

So, come! though favors I bestow
  Cannot be called extensive,
Who better than my friend should know
  That they`re at least expensive?
