SATYRE, Heracleia, Euphro, three Samians, to Xouthos born and Melite: One brings a rod and distaff long with her, Swift servant of the threaded gossamer; The next her comb, whose murmuring ministerings Make raiment rich; the last a wool-tray brings. These tools Athene queen, by which have lived Poorly and long thy servants, are their gift. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ECHO by AULUS LICINIUS ARCHIAS IMITATRIX ALES by AULUS LICINIUS ARCHIAS MY HUT; AFTER TRAN QUANG KHAI by HAYDEN CARRUTH PLAINT OF THE DISGUSTED BRITON IN THE STATES by GEORGE SANTAYANA A SUMMER NIGHT by GEORGE WILLIAM RUSSELL SONNET: 87 by WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE DANUBE AND THE EUXINE by WILLIAM EDMONSTOUNE AYTOUN CAN YOU HEAR IT? by THERESA DRULEY BLACK SONG by CHARLES GRANGER BLANDEN AN OCEAN GREYHOUND by HARRY RANDOLPH BLYTHE |
