PORTIUS LICINIUS by ANONYMOUS

First Line: "IF YOU ARE PHOEBUS' SISTER DELIA, PRAY"
Last Line: WHERE HE WHOSE PURSE IS EMPTY MAY FILL
Subject(s): MONEY;PORTIUS LICINIUS (1ST CENTURY B.C.);
IF you are Phœbus' sister Delia, pray
This my request unto the Sun convey:
O Delphic god, I built thy marble fane,
And sung thy praises with a gentle cane;
Now, if thou art divine Apollo, tell
Where he whose purse is empty may go fill.
