FRAGMENTS FROM ALCÆUS.
I.
[The air-god raineth: through the sky]
The air-god raineth: through the skyComes down the tempest mightily;
The streams are thick with solid ice: [OMITTED]
Keep down the winter;—pile up more
Upon the fire, and largely pour
The honey-mellowed wine;
And round our temples let the soft wool twine.
II.
[Dark-tressèd, chaste, and mildly-smiling Sappho.]
