Ovid - Book 5 |

She gathers up the flame--again it glows,
As with proud gesture and imperious air
She flings it to the earth; and it lies there
Furiously flickering and crackling still--
Then
haughtily
victorious, but with sweet
Swift smile of greeting, she puts forth her will
And stamps the flames out with her small firm feet.

Alone, by other's

unreprest,
From his full eyes the tears descending flow,
In a wide stream, and flood his troubled breast.
