THE ORACLE.

IMITATED FROM THE GREEK.

To Phœbus' shrine three youths of fame,
A wrestler, boxer, racer came,
And begg'd the Delphic god to say,
Which from the next Olympic game
Should bear the envied wreath away?
And thus the Oracle decided:—
“Be victors all, brave youths, this day,
Each in your several arts!—provided
That none outstrip the racers' feet,
None at his trade the boxer beat,
None in the dust the wrestler lay!”
