    In "Ode on a Grecian Urn," John Keats describes his joy at experiencing the beauty of an ancient Greek vase. He describes his reaction to each of its engravings, which depict scenes from daily life in ancient Greece as well as from mythology. In the second and third stanzas, he addresses the human figures and objects shown on the urn. In the second stanza, he addresses the pipe and its player, and a pair of lovers:

    Pipe to the spirit ditties of no tone:

    Fair youth, beneath the trees, thou canst not leave

    Thy song, nor ever can those trees be bare;

    Bold Lover, never, never canst thou kiss,

    Though winning near the goal yet, do not grieve;

    In the third stanza, he addresses the youth playing his melody, the lover, and the trees:

    Ah, happy, happy boughs! that cannot shed

    Your leaves, nor ever bid the Spring adieu;
