Emerge personified from out the past
That Goddess who once nurtured Memory,
Harps long on our amour that failed to last.
She ingeminates lost love that you and l.
Alas! yet co-exist in native world
Whereas l wish that both our lives were by;
Forever stiled and into darkness hurled.
Brute reason argues that l relegate
To some abysmal place this Titaness-
But partial to ideals hesitate,
In that she so bespeaks your loveliness.
Then, Jupiter sings from gaaxies above:
Live long, my fair enchantress unto Love-"
