Poem
Aethiopia is a land of exquisite beauty, Inhabited by a princess worthy of its charms. And the king her father thought it his duty To boast of her glamour in spite of envious alarms. So the lovely Andromeda sitting on the shore, Her long hair waving seaward in the salty breeze, Has been chained to rock by vengeance heretofore. But the brave Perseus arrives and her he frees, After slaying the sea monster with a vicious gore. Now Andromeda is the goddess of all my dreams, Who reigns supreme in the celestial sphere. Her beauty is yet unique in the heavenly schemes, And can cause clouds and tempest to disappear. If I for a moment neglect to confess her glamour, Savage beast would roar her praise from lust. The most ardent lover she forces to stammer, Her charms makes their tongues unable to adjust, For it is that womanly way she has with men to enamour. The forests, streams and all of nature are her gift, Since every creature with a heart she delights. O God make me her Perseus and please be swift, For she is my only dream on starry nights. My brand is honed sharp to slay the dragon, And the keys to her chains lay buried in my sack. We will fly away on a Pegasus drawn wagon, And sail the celestial ocean in a star guided yacht. To toast life eternal, may I lift this star-studded flagon?
