Translation from the Second Ode Of Anacreon
BY 7. n. DORSEY.

BY T. n. DORSEY.
Nature, with Il just decree,
TO all did give a part,
To fishes, fms TO swim the sea.
To horses hoofs to start.
She gave TO cattle horns TO WELD.
When danger threatened near,
To h,res their feet TO skim the field.
When pressed by hounds to fear.
She gave to birds their plumage bright.
To sour upon the air,
To lions teeth to dare the fight,
And mangle in ,he ir lar.
She gave TO Man DECISIONS brow,
And wisdom's prudent tongue,
But when she came to Woman--now
Behold her gifts were gone.
But quick upon her brow she threw
A radiance bright us day,
Upon her neck of snowy hue
The flowing ringlets play.
And from her eyes mellow light
CLEANED bounteous TO the view,
As when the Sun, with beams most bright,
Shines sole through evening" dew.
