ANACREON'S THIRTY-FOURTH ODE .
BY BROTHER JOHN LEE STEVENS , BRITISH LODGE , NO . 8 . FLY not , observing my grey hair!—Nor my caresses scorn to share , Because the bloom of youth , that now Mantles thy beauteous brow , On mine thou may ' st not find . See ! even in these chaplets , how Becoming the white lilies are , With roses intertwined !
TO * * * * . ON a fair isle , in some calm sea , Had I but lived to gaze on thee , To smile , and kiss thy angel brow , Far from the pangs that rack me now—Oh ! had our souls been formed to know A world of transport here below !
Hadst thou been like a Peri sent From heaven to be my own dear bride , — My comfort , wheresoe ' er I went , For ever blooming by my side ; Oh ! then , beloved , then might ive Have drained the cup of ecstasy !
