POETS of Italy, I love you well! Of gentle maidens and of faithful fwains: Whether I lift to thee, whole mighty pow'r Bade the dark houfe of Woe her guests difplay; Or thee, who in the folitary hour Hait won my ear with many a love-lorn lay. My heart is fo deceiv'd, that it prefers E'en to the majesty of claffic fong Your wilder notes. Yet half the charms is her's Who taught me what you are To her belong My thanks to her my gratitude is due: I love you, for my Laura loves you too. Dec. 8, 1796. IMITATION W. GRAY. OF THE FIFTH ODE OF ANACREON. WITH the plant of Love, the Rofe, Let us tinge ou: fparkling wine; With the fairest flow'r that blows, Let us bluthing crowns entwine; And, while laughing Eacchus flows, Sorrow to the winds confign! Fragrant Rofe thou fweetest flow`r! Daughter of the perfum'd Spring! Priz'd by Gods at banquet hour, Moving in the Grace s' ring! Crown'd with rofes, Venus' boy Shakes his wreath, and fmiles for joy! Hither, as my fportive lyre Bromian Bacchus fhall infpire, Let the lovely girl advance In the mazy winding dance; Tuck'd above her knee the vest, Hair unbound, and open breast; Whilft her limbs, to music gay, Each foft lurking charm difplay! 1796.
