 | Matthew Prior. Poems on Several Occasions |  |
From the Greek.
Great Bacchus, born in Thunder and in Fire,By Native Heat asserts His dreadful Sire.
Nourish'd near shady Rills and cooling Streams,
He to the Nymphs avows his Am'rous Flames.
To all the Breth'ren at the Bell and Vine,
The Moral says; Mix Water with your Wine.
