As laws of God and man enjoin

On holy festival.

And the author of the Miners, whoever he was, (and that poem is attributed to the same Pherecrates,) says—

Beneath the shady trees,

In lotus-bearing meadows green,

And on the dewy cypirus;

And on the fresh anthryscum, and

The modest tender violet,

And green trefoil . . . .
