To PYRRHA. Ode XX.
That she would not draw NEARCHUS from his present Sweet-heart.
Pyrrha, dost see what danger nigh?
Since Lionesses whelp dost move?
Combate ere long thou't gladly fly,
Faint Lurcher prove:
Since Lionesses whelp dost move?
Combate ere long thou't gladly fly,
Faint Lurcher prove:
When she shall Youthful crouds survey,
NEARCHUS searching for, renown'd;
Bad strife 'twill prove whose lovely Prey
He'll then be found.
NEARCHUS searching for, renown'd;
Bad strife 'twill prove whose lovely Prey
He'll then be found.
Whilst thou draw'st nimble Shafts to fright,
She whets her Teeth more dreadful grown;
Thus Palm, chief Arbiter o'th Fight,
He stamps upon:
She whets her Teeth more dreadful grown;
Thus Palm, chief Arbiter o'th Fight,
He stamps upon:
Does sport, his Shoulders proud bespread
With Locks perfum'd i'th' gentle Air,
Like NEREUS once snatch'd GANIMEDE
From Ida fair.
With Locks perfum'd i'th' gentle Air,
Like NEREUS once snatch'd GANIMEDE
From Ida fair.
