THE TALE OF ARCHAIS
77
CHARICLES
Join our chorus, tread the turf
To the beating of the surf.
Dance together, ere we part,
And Selenes dart
Give the signal for your slumber and the rapture
of our heart.
Semi-Chorus of Men
Exalted with immeasurable gladness ;
Bonds touched with tears and melted like the
snow,
Wake the song loudly ; loose the leash of
madness,
Beat the loud drum, and bid the trumpet
blow.
Semi-Chorus of Women
Let the lute thrill divinely low,
Let the harp strike a tender note of sad-
ness ;
Louder and louder, till the full song flow,
One earth-dissolving stream of utter gladness.
