Thisbe, the brightest of the eastern maids;

 And Pyramus, the pride of all the youths, 

 Adjacent dwellings held, in that fam’d town, 

 Where tall walls of stone, we learn were rais’d, 

 By Salus, goddess of safety.

•  It introduces the themes of pride, fame, and safety, which are common themes in epic poetry and in Ovid’s Metamorphoses.
