And more than once, he, even he,
Had grieved to see them go to Hades.
“I quite agree with you,” he said,
“Tithonus would be dull if dead.
So be content, I, even I,
Decree Tithonus shall not die!”
Aurora, full of love and joy,
Laughed out in Pluto’s face of gloom,
And hastened off to tell her boy
That she had saved him from the tomb.
