Dennis' Whiskey Corner Sippin' Poems A Drinker's Companion to English Verse

This Poem Is Best Viewed With A Glass Of Old Charter Bourbon Whiskey Truth Millevoye Traslated by D. F. MacCarthy Down from the skies an unknown virgin came, Timid and chaste, though fair as if the zone Of Venus bound her:--Truth was her sweet name. All men pursued this beautiful unknown, And some had almost seized upon her charms; But short the triumph of the amorous crowd; This second Juno vanished from their arms, And left these new Ixions but--a cloud!
