Calpernia, what distant star-ope'd the portal of her soul,
allowing her most favoured child-a goddess of her union,
of which there was but one,  to venture forth and see the sun,
her father, dressed-for her sake ,in grand attire-of burning gold and flaming hair, with full desire and proper pride, to see his daughter, standing there. A  goddess child, with full approval of his kin -who in mortal form, was sent to Earth, that son of man-grown vain with pride, wickedness and greed, wanton and unworthy-should be admonished- taught due regard for womankind. And so she came upon the Earth in beauty, and resolve to do all duty, and dispel all lust and vanity and all other foul inanity, show noble mind and honest heart, were there to play a better part, but man being wicked,  full of greed, did not seem to feel the need. Unworthy he of womankind - sorrowing she left behind in abandonment.
And now, fair Calpernia weeps, while an angry father peeps- and threatens  destruction on mankind, who is only saved by fair Calpernia's tears and pleading, and presence of mans fair companion. So take heed all  men and learn, t'was not for woman men would burn!
