ODE XXXII. To his Harp.
Charming Shell! If in the Shade
You and I have ever play'd
Songs that may outlast a Year,
Now begin a Roman Air.
You and I have ever play'd
Songs that may outlast a Year,
Now begin a Roman Air.
Thee with Martial Ardor fir'd
Great Alcæus first inspir'd:
Thee in Camps and on the Main
Still he taught the Vocal Strain.

Thee in Camps and on the Main
Still he taught the Vocal Strain.
Bacchus ever gay and young,
Venus and her Boy he sung;
Lycus was his chiefest Care,
Arm'd with jetty Eyes and Hair.
Venus and her Boy he sung;
Lycus was his chiefest Care,
Arm'd with jetty Eyes and Hair.
Joy of Phœbus, lovely Lyre!
Thee the feasting Gods admire:
Thee I greet, thy Pow'rs controul
All my Cares, and charm my Soul.
