This poet sings the Trojan wars,

All your artillery companies
Save those encamp’d in killing eyes;
Save those encamp’d in killing eyes;
Each dart his mistress shoots, he dies.
Each dart his mistress shoots, he dies.}}

English.png 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.
