SATYRE, Heracleia, Euphro, three Samians, to Xouthos born and Melite: One brings a rod and distaff long with her, Swift servant of the threaded gossamer; The next her comb, whose murmuring ministerings Make raiment rich; the last a wool-tray brings. These tools Athene queen, by which have lived Poorly and long thy servants, are their gift. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ECHO by AULUS LICINIUS ARCHIAS IMITATRIX ALES by AULUS LICINIUS ARCHIAS POOR DEVIL! by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET THE ARCHITECT (2) by KAREN SWENSON THE SHIP OF RIO by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE THE WIND IN A FROLIC by WILLIAM HOWITT TO RUSSIA by CINCINNATUS HEINE MILLER FROM THE IONIAN ISLANDS by RICHARD MONCKTON MILNES |
