Cadmus beheld a female figure, wonderfully beautiful

He tugged and toiled amain

She whipped up the snakes and ascended high over the city

"Thou hast slain the monster", cried Ariadne, clasping her hands

He concluded that his dear son had been eaten by the Minotaur

This giant and these pygmies were all brethren

The giant gave them his brotherly kindness

They were constantly at war with the cranes

"Alas! my dear children", answered poor Queen Telephassa

"Sacred Oracle of Delphi, wither shall I go"?

This pitiless reptile had killed his poor companions

At a distance he beheld stately towers

The voyagers examined the web of cloth

"Wretch"! cried Circe

They brought along with them a great many beautiful shells

So she peeped into the entrance of the cave

They arrived at the sunniest spot in the world

"I shall not touch it I assure you", said she

"What shall I do"? said he

"I am the king's daughter"

At the appointed hour he met the beautiful Medea

"What is it"? asked Jason
