Excerpt from Odes of Anacreon, Vol. 2: Translated Into English Verse, With Notes From him that dream of transport flows, Which sweet intoxication knows; With him, the brow forgets to darkle, And brilliant graces learn to sparkle. Behold! My boys a goblet bear, Whose sunny foam bedews the air. Where are now the tear, the sight To the winds they fly, they fly! Grasp the bowl; in nectar sinking, Man of sorrow drown thy thinking! Oh! Can the tears we lend to thought In life's account avail us aught! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
