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 CONTRA MORTEM: THE NOTHING I by HAYDEN CARRUTH KU KLUX by MADISON JULIUS CAWEIN WHERE A ROMAN VILLA STOOD, ABOVE FREIBURG' by MARY ELIZABETH COLERIDGE THE SURRENDER AT APPOMATTOX [APRIL 9, 1865] by HERMAN MELVILLE THE CLERKS by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON SONG FOR ALL SEAS, ALL SHIPS by WALT WHITMAN LONDON, 1802 (2) by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH |
