Who saw'st her tender forehead ere the horns were 132 COWLEY'S POEMS.
Who, like a gentle scion newly started out, From Syracusa's side dost sprout ! Thee first my song does greet. With numbers smooth and fleet As thine own horses' airy feet, "When they young Chromius' chariot drew. And o'er the Nemaean race triumphant flew.
Jove will approve my song and me ; Jove is concern'd in Nemea, and in thee.
With Jove my song ; this happy man, Young Chromius, too, with Jove began ; From hence came his su...ccess, Nor ought he therefore like it less. Since the best fame is that of happiness ; For whom should we esteem above The men whom Gods do love ? T is them alone the Muse too does approve.
Lo ! how it makes this victory shine O'er all the fruitful isle of Proserpine ! The torches which the mother brought When the ravish'd maid she sought, Appear'd not half so bright, But cast a weaker light. Through earth, and air, and seas, and up to th' hea- venly vault.
" To thee, O Proserpine ! this isle I give, " Said Jove, and, as he said, Smil'd, and bent his gracious head.
