— So, victor in the deathful race, He tam'd the strength of Pisa's king, And, from his bride of beauteous face, Beheld a stock of warriors spring, Six valiant sons, as legends sing. — And now, with fame and virtue crown'd, Where Alpheus' stream in wat'ry ring, Encircles half his turfy mound.
He sleeps beneath the piled ground ; Near that blest spot where strangers move In many a long procession round The altar of protecting Jove. — Yet chief, in yonder hsts of fame, Survives the noble Pelop's n...ame ; Where strength of hands and nimble feet In stern and dubious contest meet ; And high renown and honey'd praise, And following length of honour'd days, The victor's weary toil repays. — But what are past or future joys ? — The present is our own ! — OF PINDAR. 179 And he is wise who best employs The passing hour alone. — To crown with knightly wreath the king, (A grateful task,) be mine ; And on the smooth ^Eolian string To praise his ancient line ! — For ne'er shall wandering minstrel find A chief so just, — a friend so kind ; With every grace of fortune blest ; The mightiest, wisest, bravest, best !
