A STATUE OF CYPRIS by ANYTE

First Line: HERE CYPRIS DWELLS. ALWAYS IT WAS HER WILL
Last Line: QUIVERS TO WATCH HER RADIANT EFFIGY.
Subject(s): STATUES;

HERE Cypris dwells. Always it was her will
To gaze from land upon the sparkling sea
And give the ships good sailing: ocean still
Quivers to watch her radiant effigy.
