Combs with a rake thy tangled tresses."

And ever, as new twilights burn

Low, and our offspring, loudly yelling,

Hurry the well-heaped votive urn

To thy obscure but ample dwelling,

"Ready at need thou wast to give

Thy life," they'll say, "that want might miss us,

For ever, therefore, shalt thou live

With us and be our love, Narcissus."

ALGOL.
