[Ode]

 

 

ODE. n. s. [ὠδὴ]   A poem written to be sung to musick; a lyrick poem; the ode is either of the greater or less kind. The less is characterised by sweetness and ease; the greater by sublimity, rapture, and quickness of transition.

A man haunts the forest that abuses our young plants with carving Rosalind on their barks; hangs odes upon hawthorns, and elegies on brambles, all forsooth deifying the name of Rosalind.                 Shakesp. As you like it.

O run, prevent them with thy humble ode,
And lay it lowly at his blessed feet.                 Milt. Poems.

What work among you scholar Gods!
Phœbus must write him am'rous odes;
And thou, poor cousin, must compose
His letters in submissive prose.                         Prior. Dict.
