Who could, to follow camps, abandon thee!
Let him pursue Cilicia's routed bands,
And pitch his tents amidst their conquer'd lands;
In gold and silver, ornaments of pride,
Conspicuous through the cohorts let him ride:
Thee feebly grasping, Delia, let me die,
And view thy beauties with my closing eye;
Then shalt thou weep, then kisses mix with tears,
When on the kindling pile my corpse appears:
Sure thou wilt weep, and tender sorrows feel;
Nor flint thy heart, nor is thy breast of steel.

The youths, the virgins, all shall grace my urn,
With moisten'd eyes, and weeping home return:
Disturb not thou my shade; O Delia, spare
Thy lovely cheeks, and thy dishevel'd hair.",,15144,•I've included twice: Steel and Flint,"""Sure thou wilt weep, and tender sorrows feel; / Nor flint thy heart, nor is thy breast of steel.""",Metal,2009-09-14 19:42:52 UTC,Poems on Several Occasions
