First Line: How many authors are my first
Last Line: And her a goddess bore.
Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina
Subject(s): Authors And Authorship


How many authors are my first!
And I shall be so too
Unless I finish speedily
That which I have to do.

My second is a lofty tree
And a delicious fruit;
This in the hot-house flourishes --
That amid rocks takes root.

My whole is an immortal queen
Renowned in classic lore:
Her a god won without her will,
And her a goddess bore.
