William Cowper - On A Thief (From The Greek)William Cowper - On A Thief (From The Greek)
Work rating: Low


When Aulus, the nocturnal thief, made prize Of Hermes, swift-wing`d envoy of the skies, Hermes, Arcadia`s king, the thief divine, Who when an infant stole Apollo`s kine, And whom, as arbiter and overseer Of our gymnastic sports, we planted here; "Hermes," he cried, "you meet no new disaster Ofttimes the pupil goes beyond the master."
