To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Of Bacchus the o'er-wearied swain receives Deliverance from all his pains; Bacchus gives comfort when a mortal grieves, And mirth to men in chains. Not to Osiris toils and tears belong, But revels and delightful song; Lightly beckoning loves are thine! Garlands deck thee, god of wine! We hear thee coming, with the flute's refrain, With fruit of ivy on thy forehead bound, Thy saffron vesture streaming to the ground. And thou hast garments, too, of Tyrian stain, When thine ecstatic train Bear for...th thy magic ark to mysteries divine.
    Immortal guest, our games and pageant share! Smile on the flowing cup, and hail With us the _Genius_ of this natal day! From whose anointed, rose-entwisted hair, Arabian odors waft away. If thou the festal bless, I will not fail To burn sweet incense unto him and thee, And offerings of Arcadian honey bear.
    So grant Messala fortunes ever fair! Of such a sire the children worthy be! Till generations two and three Surround his venerated chair!
