Andromeda, by Perseus sav'd and wed, br Hanker'd each day to see the Gorgon's head: br Till o'er a fount he held it, bade her lean, br And mirror'd in the wave was safely seen br That death she liv'd by. br br Let not thine eyes know br Any forbidden thing itself, although br It once should save as well as kill: but be br Its shadow upon life enough for thee.
