The convent of which we speak had been for some years under the lenient rule of the jolly Brother Girolamo, an easy, wide-spread, loosely organized body, whose views of the purpose of human existence were decidedly Anacreontic.
Unlike the Anacreontic in praise of the grape, song suggestive chiefly of bacchanal revels and loose jollity, the verse which extols "the cup that cheers, but not inebriates," brings to mind home comforts and a happy household. And not only have some of the "canonized bards" of England celebrated its honors, like Pope, in the "Rape of the Lock," when describing Hampton Court,
Having drunk all that he was worth at home, he had in a penitent fit forsworn liquor, and tormented Amyas into taking him to sea, where he afterwards made as good a sailor as any one else, but sorely scandalized John Brimblecombe by all manner of heretical arguments, half Anacreontic, half smacking of the rather loose doctrines of that "Family of Love" which tormented the orthodoxy and morality of more than one Bishop of Exeter.
Ladywell looked as if he sometimes knew secrets, though he did not wish to boast. 'Written, I presume you mean, in the Anacreontic measure of three feet and a half spondees and iambics? said a gentleman in spectacles, glancing round, and giving emphasis to his inquiry by causing bland glares of a circular shape to proceed from his glasses towards the person interrogated.
Yet we know well enough that the writers of these Hebrew Anacreontic lyrics were sober men, who rarely indulged in overmuch strong drink. In short, the medieval Jewish satirists were gifted with much of what a little time ago was foolishly styled "the new humor." Joseph Zabara was a "new" humorist.

I went away bowing to his wife, but I saw plainly after that scene that my anacreontic salutation did not produce much effect upon her. "He must be mad," thought I as I went away, "to talk of a thousand crowns to a law student." Five days later I found myself at the house of Madame de B , whose balls were becoming fashionable.
But, since I have begin to speak of our language and our poets, let me communicate to you one of the observations which, in the leisure-hours left me from my mercantile business, I occasionally amuse myself with making on our writers. excellently imitated by the reviver of Pindaric and Anacreontic poesy, Gabriello Chiubrera, in Canzonetta 18: "Ah! che vien cenere Penando un amator benche fedele!
Here he lay in the grass, composed and sang his anacreontic songs, and here, in the summer-time, his annual festival is held. We will raise his altar here in the red evening sunlight. It is a flaming bowl, raised high on the jolly tun, and it is wreathed with roses. A Teniers' picture became animated, and still lives in song.
