William Cowper - On Pallas Bathing, From A Hymn Of Callimachus
Work rating: Low

Nor oils of balmy scene produce,
Nor mirror for Minerva`s use,
Ye nymphs who lave her; she, array`d
In genuine beauty, scorns their aid.
Not even when they left the skies,
To seek on Ida`s head the prize
From Paris` hand, did Juno deign,
Or Pallas in the crystal plain
Of Simois` stream her locks to trace,
Or in the mirror`s polished face,
Though Venus oft with anxious care
Adjusted twice a single hair.
