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 THE TEMPTRESS by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON TWO POEMS FROM THE WAR: 1 by ARCHIBALD MACLEISH IN A BURYING GROUND by SARA TEASDALE LONGING FOR HEAVEN by ANNE BRADSTREET PARTING AT MORNING by ROBERT BROWNING CORONATION by HELEN MARIA HUNT FISKE JACKSON MY AIN WIFE by ALEXANDER LAING THE FIGHT AT SAN JACINTO [APRIL 21, 1836] by JOHN WILLIAMSON PALMER |
