ODE I. ON HIS LYRE.
“Wake, O Lyre, thy silent Strings,
“Celebrate the Brother-Kings,
“Sons of Atreus, fam'd afar,
“Cadmus, and the Theban War.”—
Rapt I strike the vocal Shell—
Hark—the trembling Chords rebel;
All averse to Arms they prove,
Warbling only Strains of Love.

Hark—the trembling Chords rebel;
All averse to Arms they prove,
Warbling only Strains of Love.
5
Late I strung anew my Lyre—
“Heav'nly Muse my Breast inspire,
“While the swelling Notes resound
“Hercules, for Toils renown'd.”
Still the Chords rebellious prove,
Answ'ring only Strains of Love!
“Heav'nly Muse my Breast inspire,
“While the swelling Notes resound
“Hercules, for Toils renown'd.”
Still the Chords rebellious prove,
Answ'ring only Strains of Love!
6
Farewel Heroes, farewel Kings!
Love alone shall tune my Strings.
Love alone shall tune my Strings.
