ODE XXIV.

[Since I am mortal here below]

Since I am mortal here below,
While through the path of life I go,
The time that has been, true, I know;
That I know: but who has known,
What time henceforth shall make his own?
Loose me, then, O heavy care:
I to thee am not the heir;
I have nought with thee to do:
But ere yet to the shades I go,
Let me laugh, and let me sing,
Let me dance to the wired string,
Let me with Lyæus be,
And with beauteous Venus free:
Care, I have nought to do with thee.
