ODE TO ANACREON.
Sweetly blooming o'er our head,
Let the rose luxuriant glow;
Ev'ry face let laughter spread,
While the sparkling bumpers flow.
To the lyr's ecstatic sound
See! the silver footed maid
Gently sails the mazy round,
Wide the flow'ry wand display'd.
Crown'd with ringlet's amrous bloom
Hark! the youth awakes the strings!
Fragrance show'rs a rich perfume,
While the thrilling strain he sings!
