THE SHRINE OF VENUS by ANYTE

First Line: FAIR APHRODITE, FROM THIS MARBLE FANE
Last Line: BEHOLDS HER IMAGE, AND IS LULL'D ASLEEP.
Subject(s): MYTHOLOGY - CLASSICAL; VENUS (GODDESS);
Fair Aphrodite, from this marble fane
Delights to gaze upon the glassy main,
Smoothing the sailor's pathway—while the deep
Beholds her image, and is lull'd asleep.
