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 TO AN INTRA-MURAL RAT by MARIANNE MOORE RESOLUTION OF DEPENDENCE by GEORGE BARKER TO THE LADIES by MARY LEE CHUDLEIGH LINES ON OBSERVING A BLOSSOM [ON THE FIRST OF FEBRUARY 1796] by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE A GIRL'S GARDEN by ROBERT FROST THE LAMENTATION OF THE OLD PENSIONER (2) by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS DRINKING SONG (2) by ALCAEUS OF MYTILENE |
