Though Dido always called him “Pyg” for short;
Methinks the greedy nature of the youth
Made Dido’s nickname fit him well in truth.
Arriving, then, on Afric’s sunny shore
With some few friends who followed in her train,
She built herself some houses and a store,
Laid out a street and called it Lover’s Lane.
And since the town was hers, none could gainsay
Her right to royal rule and social sway;
And so it is quite easy to be seen
