A. R.

[Libra]

The _Grecian_ fam'd for strength of lungs,

And voice as loud, as fifty tongues;

The _Nymph_, who answers every tone,

And sigh for sigh, when your're alone;

The _Man_ who boldly did aspire,

To steal the sun's etherial fire;

Those _regions dark_, you now may tell,

Where wicked spirits ever dwell;

Then name the _fields of bliss_ below,

Where we are told the happy go;

That _King_, whose vanity appears

Rewarded, with enormous ears;

The _Wind_, whose blustering looks inform,

He rides upon the raging storm;

And the _lov'd wife_, whom stories tell,

Her husband went to seek in hell!

Last name one of the _Judges_ three,

Who bliss, or punishment decree;

On all who pass the Stygian wave,

By Charon ferry'd, king or slave.

Unite all the first letters well,

A month within the year they'll tell.
