FROM HORACE, Book iii. Od. 13.

Ye waves, that gushing fall with purest stream,
Blandusian fount! to whom the products sweet
Of richest vines belong,
And fairest flow'rs of Spring;
To thee a chosen victim will I kill,
A Goat, who, wanton in lascivious youth,
Just blooms with budding horn,
And destines future war,
Elate in vainest thought: but ah! too soon
His reeking blood with crimson shall pollute
Thy icy-flowing flood,
And tinge thy crystal clear.
Thy sweet recess the Sun in mid-day hour
Can ne'er invade: thy streams the labour'd ox
Refresh with cooling draught,
And glad the wand'ring herds.
Thy name shall shine with endless honour grac'd,
While on my shell I sing the hanging oak,
That o'er thy cavern deep
Waves his imbowering head.
