They drive, row, run, with love of glory smit,

Leap, swim, shoot flying, and pronounce on wit.

O'er the belle-lettre lovely Daphne reigns;

Again the god Apollo wears her chains:

With legs toss'd high, on her sophee she sits

Vouchsafing audience to contending wits:

Of each performance she's the final test;

One act read o'er, she prophesies the rest;

And then, pronouncing with decisive air,

Fully convinces all the town—she's fair.
