ODE OF ANACREON.TRANSLATED FROM THE GREEK.I lovea mellow, cheerful sage,Whose feelings are unchilled by age;I love a youth who dances wellTo music of the sounding shell;But when a man of years, like me,Joins with the dancers playfully,Though age in silvery hair appears,His heart is young, despite of years.

I lovea mellow, cheerful sage,

Whose feelings are unchilled by age;

I love a youth who dances well

To music of the sounding shell;

But when a man of years, like me,

Joins with the dancers playfully,

Though age in silvery hair appears,

His heart is young, despite of years.
