'Midst silent shades and purling streams The god of love supinely dreams; In rosy and fantastic chains He leads deluded maids and swains. But if the trumpet's loud alarms Call us to deeds of manly arms, Rous'd from his downy bed, he cuts the yielding air, Sour'd at the noise and thunder of the war.
