Spear, Lyre, Wreathed with Myrtle

"Spear, Lyre, Wreathed with Myrtle"

(included in Cliff Valentines)

The spear the hero joys to wield,

The lyre that marks the poet’s skill,

The Warrior’s Sword, the Warrior’s shield,

The sages well instructed quill,

Are ever most attractive found,

With Love’s light wreath of Myrtle bound.
