AMPHION, singing 'neath Boeotian skies,
Saw Theban walls in state before him rise;
His strains the rocks hard-hearted so beguiled
That they themselves in lofty order piled.
Should WAGNER try upon the hills alone
To sound the melancholy saxophone,
And blare dim discords to the hills sublime,
He 'd bring the crack of doom before its time.
II.Sad Orpheus of the sweet-toned lyre, once weeping
For his dead wife, went down to Hades grim
To seek her; and the woods and wild beasts leaping
At the wild music followed after him;
The God wept softly at the melody,
And, melting, gave him back Eurydice.
If WAGNER lost his wife, and went to Hades
To fetch her too, he 'd gain his cause, no doubt;
Tisiphone and the two other ladies
With all the gods would hurriedly go out,
And leave the fair one to be taken home;
But I am not so sure that she would come!
WEST.
