Text
Eutychides (Lucilius)
by Edwin Arlington Robinson
Eutychides, who wrote the songs,t
Is going down where he belongs.t
O you unhappy ones, beware:t
Eutychides will soon be there!t
For he is coming with twelve lyres,t
And with more than twice twelve quirest
Of the stuff that he has donet
In the world from which he’s gone.t
Ah, now must you know death indeed,t
For he is coming with all speed;t
And with Eutychides in Hell,t
Where’s a poor tortured soul to dwell?
