MY CHOICE.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

I.

I WOULD not give a fig, I swear,

For all the goddesses that share

That spot - that's neither here nor there -

Baptized the Olympian Hill!

Venus, I fear, would be untrue,

The learned Pallas is too blue,

And Juno's known to be a shrew, -

An awful bitter pill.

II.

Psyche, pretty butterfly,

Might feel inclined her wings to try, -

Besides, she 's Cupid in her eye;

The Muses are too bold.
