ALCAEUS
1571

Athenaews Deeters of Dinner: For the poet Alcaeus is
found drinking at every time and on every Gécasion τ in the
winter in these lines:

The Sky-Ged bews himself; there is a great
storm in the heavens, the streams of water are
frozen fast... . Defy the storm with a good fire
and a bountiful mixing of honey-sweet wine, and

then put a soft cushion on either side your brow.

158
The Same: . . . and in his misfortune, in this passage :
It is ill yielding the heart to mischance; for we
shall make πὸ advance if we weary of thee, Ὁ
Bacchus. and the best medicine is to call for wine

and drink deep.
159 *

The Same: They ealled the garlands which they used to
tie round their necks hypothwnides ; compare Alcaeus :

But let them put garlands woven of anise about
our necks and pour sweet myrrh over our bosoms.®
