Maidens, yet monsters, woman-faced,

With iron hearts that had disgraced

The slaughterer of ABEL.

Chimæra dire! The Sirens three,

Ulysses shunned were such as she,

Though robed in simpler raiment.

Is there no modern Nemesis

To deal out to such ghouls as this

Just destiny's repayment?

O modish Moloch of the air!
