Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where are the lovely maids for whom The Romans waxed uproarious, Faustina's grace and Flora's bloom And Agrippina glorious? Where is the Golden Age that knew No preachings sanctimonious— That found its Art and Ethics too, In Ovid and Petronius? Priapus smiled, when Roman knights Doffed armour and regalia, While damsels lured to wild delights In time of Saturnalia. Then damsels wandered grot and grove With no one to prohibit 'em; And Roman lads could gayly rove Pursuing nymphs ad libitum. With mead and maid and melody, Their fun was fast and furious. They thought a moral pedigree Both stupid and injurious. They differed as to social creed, Their politics were various; But all agreed in showing speed— Brave Sulla or bold Marius. O Roman days and Roman ways, Patrician and imperious, When Cleopatra doffed her stays And Tony grew delirious. You come to us no more I fear, Today 'tis quite precarious For man and maid to draw too near Unlawfully gregarious!
