In flowing measure, filled with flame and sprite.”

Or, if this be too scholarly and artificial, there are the far more beautiful lines of Beaumont and Fletcher:—

“God Lysæus, ever young,

Ever honoured, ever sung,

Stained with blood of lusty grapes;

In a thousand antic shapes

Dance upon the maze’s brim,

In the crimson liquor swim;

From thy plenteous hand divine

Let a river run with wine;
