UPON THE SAME by DECIMUS MAGNUS AUSONIUS

First Line: PALLAS SAW VENUS ARM'D, AND STRAIGHT SHE CRY'D
Last Line: THAT BEING NAK'T, THOU KNOW'ST COULD CONQUER THEE?
Pallas saw Venus arm'd, and streight she cry'd,
Come if thou dar'st, thus, thus let us be try'd.
Why foole! saies Venus, thus provok'st thou mee,
That being nak't, thou know'st could conquer thee?
