To his Harp. Ode XXXII.

He desires that it would be present as his Partner and Companion in Musick.

Ddear Harp, what we conjoyn'd, at ease,
In Shades have sung, let Live and please,
Still I desire; come now, rehearse,
Chant Latin verse.
First by ALCÆUS tun'd alone,
Who, Warrior stout with Navy gone
'Midst Arms themselves, or Anchor-bound
To the moist Shore-ground
Did LIBER, Muses, VENUS sing,
And Boy which still to her doth cling
Choice MYRNE too, black-hair'd and ey'd;

Changed on good grounds.


Thence beautifi'd.
Hail then, thou PHÆBUS-grace, and meet
For JOVE'S high Board, O charming sweet
'Midst Toils or Sorrows to my Heart,
When Called art.
