IX. STERN APHRODITE

"IOLE is coy with me,

Goddess! for a month I suffer

Knowing not how far I be:

Teach me softer arts, or rougher,

Well to sail that sea."

"_Fie: how long could Love divine

Venturing, abstain from answer,

Nor look landward for a sign!

Niggard, take of thine entrancer

Shipwreck in the brine._"
