JOHN DRYDEN. Continued. ALEXANDER'S FEAST: OR, THE POWER OF MUSIC. An Ode in Honour of St. Cecilia's Day. 'Twas at the royal feast for Persia won Aloft in awful state On his imperial throne : His valiant peers were plac'd around; Their brows with roses and with myrtles bound: (So should desert in arms be crown'd) The lovely Thais, by his side, Happy, happy, happy pair! None but the brave, None but the brave, None but the brave deserves the fair. |
