Love
Ode LXXVI
Translated by Thomas Moore (1800) · From Odes of Anacreon (1800)
Love
Hither, gentle Muse of mine,
Come and teach thy votary old
Many a golden hymn divine,
For the nymph with vest of gold.
Pretty nymph, of tender age,
Fair thy silky looks unfold;
Listen to a hoary sage,
Sweetest maid with vest of gold!
