Busy, curious, thirsty fly! Drink with me and drink as I: Freely welcome to my cup, Couldst though sip and sip it up: Make the most of life you may, Life is short and wears away.
Both alike are mine and thine Hastening quick to their decline: Thine's a summer, mine's no more, Though repeated to threescore. Threescore summers, when they're gone, Will appear as short as one!

On a Fly Drinking Out of His Cup
William Oldys (1696-1761)
Busy, curious, thirsty fly!
Drink with me and drink as I:
Freely welcome to my cup,
Couldst though sip and sip it up:
Make the most of life you may,
Life is short and wears away.
Both alike are mine and thine
Hastening quick to their decline:
Thine's a summer, mine's no more,
Though repeated to threescore.
Threescore summers, when they're gone,
Will appear as short as one!
good one
