Exhaustive dries away: oh then be thine

To sit in shade of rocks; with [112]Byblian wine,

And goat’s milk, stinted from the kid, to slake

Thy thirst, and eat the shepherd’s creamy cake;

The flesh of new-dropt kids and youngling cows,

That, never teeming, cropp’d the forest browse.

With dainty food so saturate thy soul,

And drink the wine dark-mantling in the bowl:

While in the cool and breezy gloom reclined

Thy face is turn’d to catch the breathing wind;
