On smoother, till [Favonius] reinspire

The frozen earth, and clothe in fresh attire

The lily and rose, that neither sowed nor spun.

What neat repast shall feast us, light and choice,

Of [Attic] taste, with wine, whence we may rise 10

To hear the lute well touched, or artful voice

Warble immortal notes and Tuscan air?

He who of those delights can judge, [and spare]

[To interpose them oft], is not unwise.
