'Twas sung of old, how one Amphion Could, by his verses, tame a lion, And, by his strange enchanting tunes, Make bears and wolves dance rigadoons; His song could call the timber down, And form it into house or town: . . . [12 lines] Yet, even a-thirst, he sweetly sings, Of nectar, and Elysian springs. . . . [18 more lines] |
