To Archdeacon Hare, with the Idyl of Pan and Pitys
From Heroic Idyls (1863)
Arts & Sciences
Julius, the playful sylvan Muse,
Leaving her grot by Syracuse,
Whisper'd me that no other man
Should sing of Pitys and of Pan.
She sigh'd in saying he was gone
And left his reed to me alone.
Ah, could I half her words believe !
But the nine sisters all deceive.
