From a South-Carolina Paper.
ODE.-ANACREONTIC
ARTIST, frame 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
Wreathing clusters of the vine;
Show with smiling easy grace,
Bacchus of the jolly face.
Let Anacreon there be placed,
With a wreath of laurel graced,
Singing to his sportive lyre,
Joys that love and wine inspire.
Bacchus, press the purple vine:
Fill my bowl with rosy wine:
Then I'll raise the song with glee,
Praising wine, and praising thee.
G. TURNBULL.
