God Lyaeus

by John Fletcher

God Lyaeus, ever young, Ever honour'd, ever sung, Stain'd with blood of lusty grapes, In a thousand lusty shapes Dance upon the mazer's brim, In the crimson liquor swim; From thy plenteous hand divine Let a river run with wine:   God of youth, let this day here   Enter neither care nor fear.
