He follows thee; and never will have done

Though nakedly he die, from following

Whither thou leadest. Canst thou look upon

His woes and laugh to see a goddess’ son

Of wide dominion, and in strategy

More strong than Jove, more wise than Solomon,

Inept to combat thy severity?

Have pity Sylvia! And let Love be one

Among the folk that bear thee company.
