And Lypè, that her sorrow spares them not,

When mortals have forgot their fellow men.

These, like twin sharks that in a fair ship’s wake

Swim constant, showing ’bove the water blue

Their shearing fins, and hasty ravin make

Of overthrow or offal, so these two

On Aphrodite’s passing follow hard;

And now she offer’d to their glut’s regard

Sweet Psyche, with command their wont to do.
