AN EPIGRAM OF ANTIPATER OF SIDON
Upon Anacreon.
Let tender Ivy shade thee with it's green,And purple Roses round thy tomb be seen,
And Earth, Anacreon, pour in love divine
Floods of pure Milk, and of flower-scented Wine;
That so thy bones and dust in joy may lie,
If aught of joy can touch us when we die;
O thou, that lov'd the Harp, and heav'nly Song,
And magnify'd fair Love thy whole life long.
