Description:Excerpt from The Obsequies of Orpheus Read Before the Fortieth Annual Convention of the Delta Kappa Epsilon Fraternity: Washington, January Fifth 1887 The delight of the Gods was young Hellas to seeOn the breast, in the arms of the AEgean Sea, Where their fostering diligence lovingly spreadThose munificent gifts that prosperity bred, Ere her warm heart was chilled by historical loreOr her fancy was curbed by the myths that it bore, When her garlanded grottoes supplied them a homeAnd her valleys were gardens through which they might roam, When her fountains were clear as the light from the sunWhere their daughters might bathe with their tresses undone, And the rills in her mountains from silver cascadesThrew a sanctity over her evergreen glades, And each landscape reflected in river or streamWas the dwelling of deities held in esteemBy a people as brave, as impassioned and freeAs e'er conquered the land, or were masters at sea, When her zephyrs were laden with perfume so sweetThat it scented her groves to their inmost retreatWhere the voice of their oracles, faithfully heard, Was allotting to each the success he preferred, When the future was known from the flight of a bird, And the brutes by omnipotent power were stirred, When the fairest of priestesses served at her shrinesWith a virginal purity sweet as her winesWhile adorning the altars with flowers and fruitsKeeping time in their hymns to melifluous lutes, When the frame, and its creatures, were cordially boundIn a kinship that nature rejoiced they had found, 'Twas a dream before waking to eminent deedsThat were augured by Hellas's mythical creeds.
