THE WORLD’S TRAGEDY.
IST NYMPH
From what a lash !
2ND NYMPH
O the monstrous travail—gape
In the belly of the sky !
IST NYMPH
Shall the man beget the ape,
All the wine of time run dry ?
2ND NYMPH
Ah ! the grisly spoil of rape
Dark with vilest ecstasy !
IST NYMPH
Listen, how shall life escape
From such death it breedeth by ?
2ND NYMPH
Hangs there not a single grape
From that nightshade galaxy ?
