I. OFFERINGS to the MUSES and APOLLO.

These roscid Roses, and this wildling Thyme,
I offer to the sacred Nine who love
The Heliconian Hill: But lo, to thee
Apollo, I devote the Laurel's Leaves,
Of sabler Hue. Such Offerings oft adorn
The Delphic Rock! And, meantime, to enrich
Thy Altar with its purple Stream, shall bleed
Yon' horn'd He-goat, that crops, so snowy-white,
The pendent Branches of the gummy Pine.
