ANCIENT GREEK CHAUNT OF VICTORY.
Fill high the bowl with Samian wine,
Our virgins dance beneath the shade.
Byron.
Io! they come, they come!
Garlands for every shrine!
Strike lyres to greet them home;
Bring roses, pour ye wine!
Swell, swell the Dorian flute
Thro' the blue, triumphant sky!
Let the Cittern's tone salute
The sons of Victory.
