Classic Poem

Upon T IMOCRITUS .

Timocritus the Bold, the Great, the Brave,
Kill'd in the Field , here triumphs in the Grave .
The Valiant often Dye in martial Strife;
The Cowards Live, their Punishment is Life.

Upon a Statue of Myro' s representing an Ox .

Feed, Cow-Herd, feed thy Oxen far away,
Left they too nearly should to Myro 's stray,
And thou, whose Judgment pardonably err'd,
Drive Home the breathing Statue with the Herd .
