Nymphs art thee
To train of Artemis
To fly afore
Orion and hound, Sirius
Sweet Daughters of Atlas
Who enamoured Orion
He beleaguered thee, Dryads
He, Neptunes scion
Entreaty, asked Pleiades
From Zeus, who hath bade
To transmogrify The Ladies
As Pigeons, to evade
In sidereal form
Took they fore`er
Sisters Seven, reborn
In benighted sky fair
Only six are clear
To the earthbound eye
For Electra hides, in tears
For Her son, Dardanus, She cries
Dardanus hath founded
Illium city of Troy
Lay to ruin, and confounded
She laments Her sweet boy.........
I bewail, for my Fair Ladies of The Pleiades
For they hath been wont to bedimming, henceforth
