Shakespeare's Songs/Come, Thou Monarch of the Vine

by William Shakespeare

From Anthony and Cleopatra.

COME, THOU MONARCH OF THE VINE

Come, thou monarch of the vine,
Plumpy Bacchus with pink eyne!
In thy vats our cares be drown'd,
With thy grapes our hairs be crown'd:
Cup us, till the world go round,
Cup us, till the world go round!
