BLANDITUR PUERO SATYRUS by ANONYMOUS

First Line: WITH LOOKS AND HANDS A SATYR COURTS THE BOY
Last Line: "THE BOY EV'N SEEMS TO WEEP, THE SATYR PRAY"

WITH looks and hands a satyr courts the boy,
Who draws back his unwilling cheek as coy.
Although of marble hewn, whom move not they?
The boy ev'n seems to weep, the satyr pray.
