A poem by Henry Vaughan

Ad Fluvium Iscam

________________________________________________
Title:     Ad Fluvium Iscam
Author: Henry Vaughan [More Titles by Vaughan]

Isca parens florum, placido qui spumeus ore
Lambis lapillos aureos;
Qui maestos hyacinthos, et picti [Greek: anthea] tophi
Mulces susurris humidis;
Dumque novas pergunt menses consumere lunas
C[oe]lumque mortales terit,
Accumulas cum sole dies, aevumque per omne
Fidelis induras latex;
O quis inaccessos et quali murmure lucos
Mutumque solaris nemus!
Per te discerpti credo Thracis ire querelas
Plectrumque divini senis.
