PERSEUS.

No more shall he who chained you forge that chain;

He has looked upon Medusa, and has seen

What he has made of woman. To him turned

Is the last face (who shall never see again)

With its hissing, furious hair, the eyelids burned

With the eyes' hate, slime where the lips have been,

That tumbled death upon him like a stone;

And in your name Medusa smiled and spurned

A dying face more dreadful than her own.
