Bacchante then and Pan were we that night;

Grape-God, I call you witness to the sight;

That night, Grape-God, beneath your mighty sway

Lay not upon my breast in love’s sweet pain

Black grapes from Malaga beside the Main?

Let’s play a part together, you and I.

See!—I’m a monk, who, in his garden high,

Doth fast and pray to banish things worldly.
