A HOUND by SIMONIDES OF CEOS

First Line: ALTHOUGH BENEATH THIS GRAVE-MOUND THY WHITE BONES NOW ARE LYING
Last Line: AND THE LOOMING PEAK OF OSSA, AND CITHAERON'S LONELY HILL.
Subject(s): GRAVES; HUNTING; TOMBS; TOMBSTONES; HUNTERS;
ALTHOUGH beneath this grave-mound thy white bones now are lying,
Surely, my huntress Lycas, the wild things dread thee still.
The memory of thy worth tall Pelion keeps undying,
And the looming peak of Ossa, and Cithaeron's lonely hill.
