¶Lyrics / Text

Descend immortal muse, inspire my song, Let mournful numbers gently flow along: And thou my lyre, in solemn notes complain, And in sad accents speak thy pain. Let melting music tremble on thy strings, While in concording sounds the goddess sings; Sings hapless Alpeus in the gloomy grave: Alpeus the gay, the beauteous and the brave! Who with the thirst of glory fir'd, Courageous in his country's cause expir'd.
