The Satyrs, shepherds, clowns, a motley herd
Crowding Silenus round, in one huge roar
Joined laughter, shock on shock, peal after peal,
Till the mad air was frantically rent.
With laughter loud his glowing body heaved
Incessant. High his voice above the rest,
As 'mid the thrilling chatter starlings make
Pierces a falcon's scream.
