Epigram
But yesterday, when from the bath he stept,
Young Diocles his wondrous limbs laid bare,
And standing naked, lo! he did appear
Fairer than she, who from the ocean leapt.
On Ida, years agone, when Paris deemed
It meet to judge 'twixt goddesses, and gave
The prize to her, who sprang from out the wave,
Thrice fairer e'en would Diocles have seemed.
