This finely executed statue of Euterpe is in the Louvre and is believed
to be a copy from Scopas. The pose and attitude are remarkable for
regal grace. The arrangement of the draperies is unique.

Orpheus and Eurydice.
“_But give them me, the mouth, the eyes, the brow;
Let them once more absorb me! One look now
Will lap me round forever, not to pass
Out of its light, though darkness lie beyond:
Hold me but safe within the bond
Of one immortal look! All woe that was,
Forgotten, and all terror that may be
Defied,--no past is mine, no future: look at me._”
