ODE XXI. To his Cask.
Inscribed to George Jeffreys, Esq;
With Me coæval, in the Year
Of Manlius, whether Plaints thou bear
Or Mirth; or Brawls and frantic Love;
Or, sacred Cask! to soothing Slumbers move:
Of Manlius, whether Plaints thou bear
Or Mirth; or Brawls and frantic Love;
Or, sacred Cask! to soothing Slumbers move:
Whatever Frame thou shalt instill,
Descend; obedient to the Will
Of my Corvinus, and produce,
Reserv'd for such a Friend, thy mellow Juice.
Descend; obedient to the Will
Of my Corvinus, and produce,
Reserv'd for such a Friend, thy mellow Juice.
Tho' with Socratic Learning fraught,
No Cynic He, to scorn thy Draught:
With Wine, as round it chearly flow'd,
'Tis said, old Cato's rigid Virtue glow'd.
No Cynic He, to scorn thy Draught:
With Wine, as round it chearly flow'd,
'Tis said, old Cato's rigid Virtue glow'd.
Thou, with thy gentle Torture, oft
Dost melt the rigid to the soft;
And, sportive, strip from grave Disguise
The Cares, and secret Counsels of the Wise.
Dost melt the rigid to the soft;
344
The Cares, and secret Counsels of the Wise.
Thou canst to anxious Minds restore
Spirit and Hope; and give the Poor
A Heart, that neither knows to fear
The wrathful Tyrant's Plume, or Soldier's Spear.
Spirit and Hope; and give the Poor
A Heart, that neither knows to fear
The wrathful Tyrant's Plume, or Soldier's Spear.
Bacchus, and Beauty's Queen (if kind),
And Hand in Hand the Graces join'd,
And these fair Lamps, shall court thy Stay,
Till rising Phœbus chase the Stars away.
And Hand in Hand the Graces join'd,
And these fair Lamps, shall court thy Stay,
Till rising Phœbus chase the Stars away.
