[I have my old Lempriere and new Doctor Smith in the study]
I have my old Lempriere and new Doctor Smith in the study;Latin I learn'd at school, also a trifle of Greek;
Most of the strange old stories, beautiful, ticklish, bloody,
Fairly well I know,—at all events where to seek.
O what talk there has been about Jupiter, Juno, and Venus!
(Zeus, Aphrodite, Here, the recenter fashion goes.)
Have we not said and sung enough on the subject between us?
Leave the Olympians, I pray you, leave them awhile to repose!
