ODE XI. To Quintius Hirpinius.

What is't, my Friend! to you or me,
What's done on t'other side the Sea?
Whether our Armies push the War
To Realms unconquer'd and unknown?
Be easie still, and free from Care:
Life is soon satisfy'd, and quickly done.
Beauty and Youth fly fast away,
And with 'em Love and wanton Play:
The Flow'rs forego their fading Green,
The Silver Moon declining wains:
Mind not what's future and unseen,
Nor anxiously enquire what Jove or Fate ordains.
Here underneath some shady Tree,
Let's stretch at Ease, from Sorrow free;
With Odours grace the verdant Bed,
With fragrant Flow'rs our Foreheads crown;
Weave rosie Garlands for the Head,
And in full Bowls our Cares and Troubles drown.
Whilst yonder limpid River strays,
What Slave shall cool each flagrant Glass?
Or who to our Embraces bring
Fair Lyde, with her Iv'ry Lyre?
Bid her make haste, to toy and sing,
Drest in full Beauty and her loose Attire.
