Dedication of a Rural Spot and Altar

These roses with the dew on, and this fine
Thick bowery creeper, be they yours, ye Nine:
And, Phaebus, thine the dark-leaved laurels be,
For so the Delphian cliff does grace to thee
A goat shall stain the altar, — he with hair
Thick-set, and nibbling the young fir-tree there.
