PERICLES, by EUPOLIS First Line: In eloquence no man could equal him Last Line: To prick men's hearts and leave behind the sting. Subject(s): Pericles (490-429 B.c.) | |||
A. In eloquence no man could equal him -- When Pericles arose and took the floor, By ten good feet our common orators As by an expert runner were outstript. B. Not only voluble, but with persuasion Sitting upon his lips. He bound a spell, And had this power, alone of orators, -- To prick men's hearts and leave behind the sting. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SATIRE: 4 by AULUS PERSIUS FLACCUS PERICLES AND ASPASIA by GEORGE CROLY PERICLES by RALPH WALDO EMERSON THE BANQUET OF ASPASIA AND PERICLES by LETITIA ELIZABETH LANDON TO JULIUS HARE, WITH 'PERICLES AND ASPASIA.' by WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR SONNETS ON SAGES by JAMES SHAW ALTERED CONDITION OF ATHENS by EUPOLIS |
