  1. A place for Paris in your verse we find,
  2. And Helen's to the young adult'rer kind;
  3. There lovely Laodamia mourns her lord,
  4. The first that fell by Hector's fatal sword.
  5. If well I know you, and your mind can tell,
  6. The theme's as grateful, and you like as well
  7. To tune your lyre for Cupid as for Mars,
  8. And Thracian combats change for Paphian wars;
  9. If well I know you, and your works design
  10. Your will, you often quit your camp for mine.
