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."
