Praemiaque ingenteis pagos, & compita circum Theseidae posuere, at que inter pocula laeti Mollibus in pratis unctos saliere per utres. Nec non Ausonii, Troja gens missa, coloni Versibus incomtis ludunt, risuque soluto. Oraque corticibus sumunt horrenda cavatis: Et te Bacche vocant per carmina laeta, tibique Oscilla ex alta suspendum mollia pinu.Onely for this Crime we on Altars pay Bacchus a Goat, and att the ancient Play. Then from great Villages Athenians haste, And where the High-ways meet, the Prize is plac't: They to soft Meads, heightned with Wine, advance, And joyfully 'mongst Oyled Bottles dance: Th' Ausonian Race, and those from Troy did spring, Dissolv'd with Laughter, Rustick Verses sing; In Vizards of rough Bark conceal their Face, And with glad Numbers thee, Great Bacchus, grace, Hanging soft Pictures on thy lofty Pine.—
