Anacreon's Odes paraphras'd. AGE. Od. 47. 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, &c.
I Like the Youth that does improve
His Blood with Wine, his Heat with Love:
I like the Man that Age beguiles,
And owes his Wrinkles to his Smiles;
That his dry'd Veins with Grapes repairs,
And gilds with Oyl his whit'ned Hairs.
That keeps dark sullen Care his Slave,
And dances down into the Grave.
He, though his Head in Snow be drest,
Fresh, flow'ry Youth keeps in his Breast.
Fresh Youth he keeps, and sweetest Fire,
Life's heat maintaining by desire.
So Aetna's Head is silver'd o're with Snow,
But Flowers smile, and Flames break forth below.
