scyra

Updated: June 1, 2025

A song of Scyra, Lycidas, is my desire, a sweet love- story, the stolen kisses of the son of Peleus, the stolen bed of love how he, that was a boy, did on the weeds of women, and how he belied his form, and how among the heedless daughters of Lycomedes, Deidamia cherished Achilles in her bower. Lycidas. The herdsman bore off Helen, upon a time, and carried her to Ida, sore sorrow to OEnone.
