William Cowper - Epigram : To Leonora Singing At Rome 2 (Translated From Milton)
Work rating: Low

Naples, too credulous, ah! boast no more
   The sweet-voiced Siren buried on thy shore,
That, when Parthenope deceas`d, she gave
   Her sacred dust to a Chalcidic grave,
For still she lives, but has exchanged the hoarse
   Pausilipo for Tiber`s placid course,
Where, idol of all Rome, she now in chains,
   Of magic song both Gods and Men detains.
