Apollo looked and saw within his reach
The heavens, and Parnassus, and the seas,
And the edification of all within his eye–
Of maidens, and of men, and of them that die;
But lying back and drinking from his cup
And shrinking from the sweat of standing up,
He held his hallowed arrow, all the same,
Then thought, “What need, that I should win acclaim?”
