CASSIOPEIA
Celestial, heavenly queen
Beauty unrivalled
Oh vanity! ‘Tis quicksand of reason
And angry Gods speak
Purity and innocence
Surrendered
Shackled to crystalline quartz
And blamelessness the sacrificial quarry
Retribution is costly --
Though beauty shines brightly
With vanity
Comes lonely truth
Constellation of Cassiopeia; Greek mythology
