Kept up among the guests, discoursing low

Louder they talk, and louder come the strains
Of powerful instruments:--the gorgeous dyes,
The space, the

The roof of awful richness, nectarous cheer,
Beautiful slaves, and Lamia's self, appear,
Now, when the wine has done its rosy deed,

No more so strange; for merry wine, sweet wine,
