Translated by H. W. Tytler (1793; Bohn 1856) · From Works of Callimachus (Tytler, 1793)
Arts & Sciences
Stranger, wouldst thou my story know?
Behold, I stand a comic show ;
And Pamphilus within this place
Must Ag’ranax’s victory grace:
Although I seem not very fine,
Nor is the workmanship divine ;
For half like shrivell’d figs appears,
And half to soot resemblance bears.
