Don Juan 03-031
Canto the Third

     XXXI
And here, assembled cross-legg'd round their trays,
     Small social parties just begun to dine;
Pilaus and meats of all sorts met the gaze,
     And flasks of Samian and of Chian wine,
And sherbet cooling in the porous vase;
     Above them their dessert grew on its vine,
The orange and pomegranate nodding o'er
Dropp'd in their laps, scarce pluck'd, their mellow store.

George Gordon Byron, Lord Byron (1788-1824)
