The satyrs' dance
Language: English
Round-a, round-a, keep your ring: To the glorious sun we sing, — Ho, ho! He that wears the flaming rays, And th’ imperial crown of bays, Him with shouts and songs we praise — Ho, ho! That in his bounty he’d vouchsafe to grace The humble sylvans and their shaggy race.
