John Fletcher. 15791625214. God Lyaeus
GOD Lyaeus, ever young, | |
Ever honour’d, ever sung, | |
Stain’d with blood of lusty grapes, | |
In a thousand lusty shapes | |
Dance upon the mazer’s brim, | 5 |
In the crimson liquor swim; | |
From thy plenteous hand divine | |
Let a river run with wine: | |
God of youth, let this day here | |
Enter neither care nor fear. | 10 |
GLOSS: mazer] a bowl of maple-wood. |
