1. A work of art, admired through ages past,
Yet, after all, is but a tomb at last.
2. An instrument of music no one uses,
Though honored by Apollo and the Muses.
3. When gossips trouble us with tales absurd,
We wish them far away, using this word.
4. A picture we may guard, displayed or hid,
But none may worship—that's a thing forbid.
5. The prophet who rebuked, with words of power,
The king who sinned in an unhappy hour.
6. A creature from whose touch we shrink with dread,
That bears a charmed life—none find it dead.
7. A charming isle in Naples' lovely bay—
There pilgrims worship, and there tourists stray.
8. She cares not for the duties of her nest,
But on her master's hand sits like a crest.

Now rarely found throughout our happy land.
