The Nurse's Dole in the Medea
[To Henry Drury, June 17, 1810. A " translation" of Euripides, Medea , 1 7. Written on the summit of the Cyanean Symplegades.]
O H how I wish that an embargo
Had kept in port the good ship Argo!
Who, still unlaunch'd from Grecian docks,
Had never pass'd the Azure rocks;
But now I fear her trip will be a
Damn'd business for my Miss Medea, etc., etc.
