The sun reveals the secrets of the sky; And who dares give the source of light the lie? The change of empires often he declares, Fierce tumults, hidden treasons, open wars. He first the fate of...
35 ページ - Let every swain adore her power divine, And milk and honey mix with sparkling wine : Let all the choir of clowns attend the show, In long procession, shouting as they go; Invoking her to bless their yearly stores, Inviting plenty to their crowded floors. Thus in the spring, and thus in summer's heat, Before the sickles touch the...
35 ページ - And dances in the wind ,those fields are in his grace. To Bacchus therefore let us tune our lays, And in our mother tongue resound his praise.
