Original text and translations
English text
- This poet sings the Trojan wars,
- Another of the Theban jars,
- In rattling numbers, verse that dares.
- Whilst I, in soft and humble verse,
- My own captivities rehearse;
- I sing my own defeats, which are
- Not the events of common war.
- Not fleets at sea have vanquish’d me,
- Nor brigadiers, nor cavalry,
- Nor ranks and files of infantry.
- No, Anacreon still defies
- All your artillery companies
- Save those encamp’d in killing eyes;
- Each dart his mistress shoots, he dies.
