Drinking Song.

Sweet Isci were they sunny

bowers,

And

1 flowery fountains mine,

Thy Waters I would shade with Elm,
To prop the tender vine :

With

My golden flaggons I would fill, rosy draughts from every hill, And under each green spreading bours

My gay companions should prolong

[blocks in formation]

Like Tivers crimsond by the beam

Of yonder planet bright,

Our golden cups should ever stream, Profusion of delight.

No care should touch the mellow heart,

And sad or sober None depart :

For Wine can

triumph over Woe';

And Love & Bacchus, brother powers.

Could build in Iser's sunny

A paradise below. 1 paradise

bowers.
