LEUCATE, by                    
First Line: Thou seest yonder snowy promontory
Last Line: To heal love's wounds, headlong impetuous leaped.
Subject(s): Leucadia, Greece; Santa Maura


THOU seest yonder snowy promontory
Jutting out o'er the sea. That is the rock
Of Leucate. From it Deucalion,
To cure himself of love for matchless Pyrrha;
Phobus, Phocension of the house of Codrus,
And Cephalus, the son of Dyonesus,
And sad rejected lover of Ptaola,
To heal love's wounds, headlong impetuous leaped.
