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:
When she shall Youthful crouds survey,
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:
Does sport, his Shoulders proud bespread
With Locks perfum'd i'th' gentle Air,
Like NEREUS once snatch'd GANIMEDE
From Ida fair.
