Fight by my shoulder!

(W. E. Leonard, unpublished)

Richly throned, O deathless one, Aphrodite,

Child of Zeus, enchantress-queen, I beseech thee

Let not grief nor harrowing anguish master,

Lady, my spirit.

Ah! come hither. Erstwhile indeed thou heardest

When afar my sorrowful cry of mourning

Smote thine ears, and then from thy father’s mansions

Golden thou camest,
