Description |
A drinking song set to music. Engraving and etching, mid-18th C, after Corelli. Music is writtten for two voices and two flutes. Lettering continues with three verses of song: "Bacchus, assist us to sing thy great glory; chief of the Gods, we exult in thy story. Bacchus, assist us to sing thy great glory; chief of the Gods, we exult in the story. Wine's first projector, mankind's protector, patron to topers, how we do adore thee! Wine's first projector, mankind's protector, patron to topers, how we do adore thee! Friend to the muses, a whetstone to Venus; herald to pleasures, when wine wou'd convene us, sorrow's physician, when our condition, in wordly cares wants a cordial to skreen us. Nature she smil'd when thy birth it was blazed; mankind rejoyc'd when thy altars were raised; mirth will be flowing, whilst the vine's growing, and sober souls at our joys be amazed."
