Ye also, even ye, in whose hands is the honour of minstrelsy ! Arcadian Hermes, deviser of the tuneful lyre, and Bacchus, who dost whirl the Bassarids in the dance; Paean and the Hyantian sisters, up ! and blithely do on new ribbons of purple ; adorn your hair and let your white robes be wreathed with streamers of lush ivy. Let the rivers of song take a wider sweep ; let the woods of the Muses put on fresh leafage, and every gap and inlet of the daylight be filled with fresh greenwood shade. In... the Thespian groves set up a hundred fragrant altars, o£Fer a hundred victims, fresh from bathing in Dirce or browsing on Book 11^ viy vii I Of Cithacron. Lucan is my theme. Attend, ye Muses !
in your honour we keep the day. Let an auspicious silence reign, while to the poet who exalted you in the twin arts of prose and poetry — the High Priest of Roman song — ^we pay our homage.
Happy, thrice happy and blessed, the land that sees the downward courses of Hyperion sink under the surface of the sea ; that hears the hiss of his plunging wheels ; whose fat olive-presses vie with Athens that yields increase toTritonis; — since for Lucan the world is her debtor.
