Where is Praxiteles? and where, oh! where
 * The hand of Polycleitos who could give
 * Such grace to marble as should make it live?

Who now shall carve Melite's lovely hair, Her glowing eyes, her neck so dazzling fair?
 * Gone are the artists, gone the sculptors now
 * Such beauty with fit temple to endow,

As if an image of the gods it were.
