7. For a Statue of Aesculapius -

FOR A Statue OF Æ SCULAPIUS

F AR as Miletus travelled Paean's son;
There to be guest of Nicias, guest of one
Who heals all sickness; and who still reveres
Him, for his sake this cedarn image rears
The sculptor's hand right well did Nicias fill;
And here the sculptor lavished all his skill.
