Ode 48: Moderation

To me the lyre of Homer bring,
But minus the ensanguined string:
Let, too, be brought the measured bowl;
The laws of drinking from this scroll
I will declare.

With wine grown merry and elate,
Yet still not in an ebrious state,
I'll join the Dionysian choir,
And trill to music of the lyre
