EPIGRAM IV. ON A PICTURE REPRESENTING THREE BACCHÆ.

First, Heliconias with a Thyrsus past,
Xanthippe next, and Glauca is the last;
Lo! dancing down the Mountains they repair,
And grateful Gifts to jolly Bacchus bear;

160

Wreaths of the rustling Ivy for his Head,
With Grapes delicious, and a Kid well fed.
