A+ A- |
Virgin Huntress
In all of her golden glory.
Bathing she was,
Attended by nymphs,
Compelled was I
to watch.
But sad is this day,
For she saw me,
And her face,oh! that lovely face,
Contorted in horrible anger.
She rose up then,
Uttering a word,
And I felt her magic
Surround me.
Wretched me! Oh, wretched is I!
Magicked into a stag!
By Artemis, in all
Her glorious, burning anger!
Thundering Zeus! Save me!
- My hunting dogs bay!
Poseidon, Earth Shaker! Spare me!
- My flight for life begins!
My life! My life!
My life is forfeit!
The end! The end!
The end is near!
The end of me-
The end of me-
Oh! I fear that it is near!
Closer! Closer now they come!
My heart beats faster, faster faster!
Teeth bite down, ripping open!
To Hades now, my soul shall go.
