First Line: THE GOLDEN-HAIRED BACCHUS DID ESPOUSE
Last Line: NOR DEATH NOR AGE COULD FIND HER WHEN THEY SOUGHT HER.
Subject(s): ARIADNE; BACCHUS; MYTHOLOGY - CLASSICAL;
THE golden-haired Bacchus did espouse
That fairest Ariadne, Minos' daughter,
And made her wifehood blossom in the house;
Where such protective gifts Kronion brought her,
Nor Death nor Age could find her when they sought her.
