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 ON VIOLET'S WAFERS, SENT ME WHEN I WAS ILL by SIDNEY LANIER THEY PRAISE THE SUN by JOHN CROWE RANSOM IMMORTALITY [OR, VERSE] by WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR TWO LIVES: CONCLUSION.
