Jon Corelis Theocritus Never Poems

• 1. Hylas
  Not for us only, Nicias, (vain the dream,)
  Sprung from what god soe'er, was Eros born:
  Not to us only grace doth graceful seem,
  Frail things who wot not of the coming morn.
  ...
• 2. The Battle Of The Bards
  COMETAS.
  Goats, from a shepherd who stands here, from Lacon, keep away:
  Sibyrtas owns him; and he stole my goatskin yesterday.
  
  ...
• 3. A Statue Of Figwood
  For yon oaken avenue, swain, you must steer,
  Where a statue of figwood, you'll see, has been set:
  It has never been barked, has three legs and no ear;
  But I think there is life in the patriarch yet.

  As spring's more sweet than winter, grapes than thorns,
  The ewe's fleece richer than her latest-born's;
  ...
• 8. Ortho's Epitaph

  Never venture out, drunk, on a wild winter's night.
  I did so and died. My possessions were large;

  ...
• 9. Loves
  'Sincerity comes with the wine-cup,' my dear:
