THREE FLOWERS OF MODERN GREECE.
I.
IANOULA.
O sisters! fairly have ye to rejoice,
Who of your weakness wed
With lordly might: yea, now I praise your choice.
As the vine clingeth with fair fingers spread
Over some dark tree-stem,
So on your goodly husbands with no dread
Ye cling, and your fair fingers hold on them.
