And so he roved about, now leaving Samos,

Now parting from his own enslavèd land,

Parent of vines, to wine-producing Lesbos;

And often he beheld Cape Lectum there,

Across th' Æolian wave. But greatest of all,

The Attic bee[52]

oft left its rugged hill,

Singing in tragic choruses divine,

Bacchus and Love * *
