<poem>
This poet sings the Trojan wars,
Another of the Theban jars,
In rattling numbers, verse that dares.


:This poet sings the Trojan wars,
Whilst I, in soft and humble verse,
:Another of the Theban jars,
My own captivities rehearse;
:In rattling numbers, verse that dares.
I sing my own defeats, which are
Not the events of common war.


:Whilst I, in soft and humble verse,
Not fleets at sea have vanquish’d me,
:My own captivities rehearse;
Nor brigadiers, nor cavalry,
:I sing my own defeats, which are
Nor ranks and files of infantry.
:Not the events of common war.


:Not fleets at sea have vanquish’d me,
No, Anacreon still defies
:Nor brigadiers, nor cavalry,
All your artillery companies
:Nor ranks and files of infantry.
Save those encamp’d in killing eyes;
 
Each dart his mistress shoots, he dies.
:No, Anacreon still defies
</poem>
:All your artillery companies
:Save those encamp’d in killing eyes;
:Each dart his mistress shoots, he dies.

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.
