To APOLLO. Ode XXXI.

He asks not riches of Apollo, but a sound mind in an healthful Body.

What begs thy Poet, craves whilst he,
Grand PHÆBUS to thy Deity
Pours forth new Wine, not wealthy Corn
By fat soil'd Sardinia born:
Plump Heards which scorch'd Calabria yields,
Gold, Indian Iv'or nor those fields
Which Lyris gnaws with stream from far,
That smooth, silent wanderer.
Let those whom Fortune much doth bless,
Grapes lopt with hook Calenian press;
Rich Merchants guilded bowls exhaust,
Wines that Syrian Wars did cost;
Who, lov'd by Gods, twice thrice the year
Can plough the Atlantick Seas, storm-clear:
Good Olives, Succhory's my food,
Light Mallows Earth's more vulgar breed.
26

Me, PHÆBUS, things prepar'd and found,
At home, sound Body, Mind as sound,
Old Age not loathsome, gently Grant;
Nor sweet Citherus touch to want.
