Thanks, Fish! Do you drink like one when singing this song? I must paste the lyric from the first verse below from the site you provided:
To Anacreon in Heaven, where he fat in full glee,
A few fons of Harmony fent a petition,
That He their Infpirer and Patron would be;
When this anfwer arrived from the Jolly Old Grecian
"Voice, Fiddle, and Flute,
"no longer be mute,
"I'll lend you my Name and infpire you to boot,
"And, befides, I'll infruct you like me to entwine
"The Myrtle of Venus with Bacchus's Vine.
The person who wrote these lyrics was obviously intoxicated! Consider a couple of those spellings! [I know, I know, already. Spare me the writing lesson! It's more fun to think the scriber was drunk!]
Bacchus regards,
WordWoozie
