On a Conqueror in the Cæstus.

This Victor, glorious in his Olive-Wreath,
Had once Eyes, Eye-brows, Nose, and Ears, and Teeth;
But turning Cæstus-Champion, to his Cost,
These, and, still worse! his Heritage he lost.
For by his Brother su'd, disown'd, at last
Confronted with his Picture he was cast.
