"I call upon loud-roaring and revelling
Dionysos, primeval, double-natured, thrice-born,
Bacchic lord, wild, ineffable, secretive, two-horned and two-shaped.
Ivy-covered, bull-faced, warlike, howling, pure,
You take raw flesh, you have feasts, wrapt in foliage, decked with grape clusters.
Resourceful Eubouleus, immortal god sired by Zeus
When he mated with Persephone in unspeakable union.
Hearken to my voice, O blessed one, and
with your fair-girdled nymphs breathe on
me in a spirit of perfect agape."

Upon his Drinking a Bowl
"Vulcan, contrive me such a cup
As Nestor used of old;
Show all thy skill to trim it up,
Damask it round with gold.
Make it so large that, filled with sack
Up to the swelling brim,
Vast toasts on the delicious lake
Like ships at sea may swim.
Engrave not battle on its cheek:
With war I've nought to do;
I'm none of those that took Maastricht,
Nor Yarmouth leaguer knew.
Let it no name of planets tell,
Fixed stars, or constellations;
For I am no Sir Sidrophel,
Nor none of his relations.
But carve theron a spreading vine,
Then add two lovely boys;
Their limbs in amorous folds intwine,
The type of future joys.
Cupid and Bacchus my saints are,
May drink and love still reign,
With wine I wash away my cares,
And then to cunt again."

"In the western world, the front crawl
was first seen in 1844 in London. Native
Americans participating in this
competition swam front crawl, defeating
the British breaststroke swimmers
easily. As this produced considerable
splashing in the water and embarrassment
outside, it was considered a barbaric
and "un-European" way to swim by the
British gentlemen, who preferred to keep
their heads out of the water.
Subsequently, the British continued to
swim only breaststroke until 1873."
