Love
Ode LXIII
Translated by Thomas Moore (1800) · From Odes of Anacreon (1800)
Love
To Love, the soft and blooming child,
I touch the harp in descant wild;
To Love, the babe of Cyprian bowers,
The boy, who breathes and blushes flowers;
To Love, for heaven and earth adore him,
And gods and mortals bow before him!
