A SONG.

Translated out of Greek.

30. The parcht Earth drinks the Rain,

Trees drink it up again;

The Sea the Ayre doth quaff,

Sol drinks the Ocean off;

And when that Health is done,

Pale Cinthia drinks the sun:

Why, then, d’ye stem my drinking Tyde,

Striving to make me sad, I will, I will be mad.

[p. 75.]
