 | The Genuine Works in Verse and Prose, Of the Right Honourable George Granville, Lord Lansdowne |  |
To Mrs. Afra Behn.
Two warriour Chiefs the Voice of Fame divide,Who best deserv'd, not Plutarch could decide:
42
Some for your Wit, some for your Eyes declare;
Debates arise, which captivates us most,
And none can tell the Charm by which he's lost.
The Bow and Quiver does Diana bear;
Venus the Dove; Pallas the Shield and Spear:
Poets such Emblems to their Gods assign,
Hearts bleeding by the Dart, and Pen be thine.
