From Indian heat where silent noons ablaze
Dwarf men's dark shadows on the smouldering earth,
And burn each aspect to the hue of shade,
With Dionysus great Silenus came,
Full of the starry light he knew would beam
In rosy lustre from her countenance
When he rejoicing should his Syrinx meet
And babble wonders to her wondering ears.
