Drink life and fragrance as they flow,

Now the rich stream of music winds along,

Deep, majestic, smooth, and strong,

Through verdant vales, and Ceres’ golden reign:

Now rolling down the steep amain, 10

Headlong, impetuous, see it pour:

The rocks and nodding groves rebellow to the roar.

O Sovereign of the willing soul,

Parent of sweet and solemn-breathing airs,

Enchanting shell! the sullen Cares 15
