SONG	A
Queen who lov'st Golgi and the Sicel hill	Z
And Ida Aphrodite radiant eyed	W2
The dainty footed Hours from Acheron's rill	Z
Brought once again Adonis to thy side	W2
How changed in twelve short months They travel slow	Z
Those precious Hours we hail their advent still	Z
For blessings do they bring to all below	Z
O Sea born thou didst erst or legend lies	V
Shed on a woman's soul thy grace benign	B
And Berenice's dust immortalize	V
O called by many names at many a shrine	B
For thy sweet sake doth Berenice's child	W2
Herself a second Helen deck with all	Z
That's fair Adonis On his right are piled	W2
Ripe apples fallen from the oak tree tall	Z
And silver caskets at his left support	W2
Toy gardens Syrian scents enshrined in gold	W2
And alabaster cakes of every sort	W2
That in their ovens the pastrywomen mould	W2
When with white meal they mix all flowers that bloom	A2
Oil cakes and honey cakes There stand portrayed	W2
Each bird each butterfly and in the gloom	A2
Of foliage climbing high and downward weighed	W2
By graceful blossoms do the young Loves play	Z
Like nightingales and perch on every tree	I2
And flit to try their wings from spray to spray	Z
Then see the gold the ebony O see	I2
The ivory carven eagles bearing up	B3
To Zeus the boy who fills his royal cup	B3
Soft as a dream such tap'stry gleams o'erhead	W2
As the Milesian's self would gaze on charmed	W2
But sweet Adonis hath his own sweet bed	W2
Next Aphrodite sleeps the roseate armed	W2
A bridegroom of eighteen or nineteen years	V
Kiss the smooth boyish lip there's no sting there	E
The bride hath found her own all bliss be hers	V
And him at dewy dawn we'll troop to bear	E
To where the breakers hiss against the shore	W
There with dishevelled dress and unbound hair	E
Bare bosomed all our descant wild we'll pour	W
	-
'Thou haunt'st Adonis earth and heaven in turn	B
Alone of heroes Agamemnon ne'er	E
Could compass this nor Ajax stout and stern	B
Nor Hector eldest born of her who bare	E
Ten sons not Patrocles nor safe returned	W2
From Ilium Pyrrhus such distinction earned	W2
Nor elder yet the sons of Lapith	I2
Of Pelops and Deucalion and the crown	B
Of Greece Pelasgians Gracious may'st thou be	I2
Adonis now pour new year's blessings down	B
Right welcome dost thou come Adonis dear	C
Come when thou wilt thou'lt find a welcome here '	-
	-
GORGO	A
'Tis fine Praxinoa How I envy her	L2
Her learning and still more her luscious voice	V
We must go home my husband's supperless	V
And in that state he's simply vinegar	L2
Don't cross his path when hungry So farewell	Z
Adonis and be housed 'mid welfare aye	S
