ODE.-Anacreontic.
ARTIST, form a spacious bowl,
Fit to let the liquor roll
Like the billows of the sea,—
Artist, frame this bowl for me.
Round the silver brim entwine
Wrestling clusters of the vine:
Shew with smiling easy grace,
Bacchus of the jolly face.
Let Anacreon there be placed,
With wreath of laurel graced
Singing to his sportive lyre,
Toys that love and wine inspire.
Bacchus, press the purple vine,
Fill my bowl with ruby wine :
Then I'll raise the song with glee,
Praising wine, and praising thee.
