Persephonè! none lords it over me,

Save one! No scullion's-wage for us from you!

GORGO.

Hush, dear. The Argive's daughter's going to sing

The Adonis: that accomplished vocalist

Who has no rival in "The Sailor's Grave."

Observe her attitudinizing now.

Song.

Queen, who lov'st Golgi and the Sicel hill

And Ida; Aphroditè radiant-eyed;
