Ye Men of Antioch, with ſolemn Pomp, |
Ye men of Antioch, with solemn pomp, |
Renew the grateful Sacrifice to Jove: |
Renew the grateful sacrifice to Jove: |
And while your Songs aſcend the vaulted Skies, |
And while your songs ascend the vaulted skies, |
Pour on the ſmoking Altars Floods of Wine |
Pour on the smoking altars floods of wine |
In honour of the ſmiling Deities, |
In honour of the smiling deities, |
Fair Flora, and the Cyprian Queen. |
Fair Flora, and the Cyprian Queen. |
May Robertson
