Meliti

Where is Polycleitus gone?
Where Praxiteles his art?
They who could to shapes of stone
Breath of life impart.

Where to find a sculptor wise
Who shall limn my lady's hair
And the radiance of her eyes
And her shoulders fair?

Beauty such as this should be
Housed within a temple shrine,
That her lovers there might see
Meliti divine.
