Classic Poem

I.

That with an Eagle 's piercing Eye,
  Ned look'd, what Man with Eyes can doubt,
When from the feather'd Family,
 He singled this fair Chicken out.

II.

A Lion 's Heart, the gen'rous Boy
 Proudly, in ev'ry Act maintains,
Bravely attacks the Nymph, when coy,
 When yielding, bravely he disdains.

III.

To play the skilful Surgeon 's part,
 Two necessary Points are gain'd;
But to be Master of his Art,
 Poor Ned still wants the Lady's Hand .
