CLXIII.

_Mulier Canaanitis._ Matt. xv. 22.

Quicquid Amazoniis dedit olim fama puellis,

Credite: Amazoniam cernimus, ecce, fidem.

Foemina, tam fortis fidei? jam credo fidem esse

Plus quam grammatice foeminei generis.

_The woman of Canaan._

Whate'er Fame tells of Amazons of old,

Believe: here Amazonian faith behold.

Of such strong faith a woman? Faith I see

More than in grammar feminine to be. R. WI.
