The Idylliums of Theocritus | ||
V. The Concert.
Say wilt thou warble to thy double flute,And make its melody thy music suit?
Then, by the Nymphs I swear, I'll snatch the quill,
And on the rural lyre essay my skill:
The herdsman, Daphnis, on his reed shall play,
Whose sprightly numbers make the shepherds gay:
Fast by yon rugged oak our stand we'll keep,
And rob th'Arcadian deity of sleep.
