ODE VI. THE PARTY OF PLEASURE.
While Roses round our Temples twine,We'll gayly quaff the sparkling Wine:
And, lo! the love-alluring Fair
Her Thyrsus brandishes in Air,
20
Whose Branches yield a rustling Sound;
With graceful Ease her Steps she suits
To Notes of soft Ionian Lutes.
A Youth, whose Hair luxuriant flows
In Curls, with Breath ambrosial blows
The well-pair'd Pipes, and, sweetly clear,
Pours melting Music on the Ear.
Here Cupid too with golden Hair,
And Bacchus, ever young and fair,
21
Delightful Thoughts and warm Desires,
Gay-smiling join the festive Train,
And make an old Man young again.
The works of Anacreon, Sappho, Bion, Moschus and Musæus | ||
