William Cowper

On a Mistake in His Translation of Homer

Cowper had sinned with some excuse,
If, bound in rhyming tethers,
He had committed this abuse
Of changing ewes for wethers;
 
But, male for female is a trope,
Or rather bold misnomer,
That would have startled even Pope,
When he translated Homer.
