Like stern Olympus in the judgment hour;
But come with looks and heart assuring,
Come with smiling eyes alluring,
Moving soft to Lydian measures,
Girt with graces, loves, and pleasures,
Bound with Basilea’s zone.
Come, Virtue! come! in joyous tone
We bid thee welcome to our hearth,
For well we know, that thou alone
Canst give the purest bliss of earth.”
