POEMS
(Perseus appears on the sands near Andromeda.)
Perseus.
Who crieth with a cry long heard of me?
Andromeda.
The rebel spirit of woman that would be free.
Perseus.
How is she named whose wild lips so crave?
Andromeda,
This is the World's Fool. This is the Slave.
Perseus,
Who has wronged her?
Andromeda.
The ancient spirit of man.
Perseus.
Long was she chained?
Andromeda.
Since the world began.
Perseus.
Who are her masters?
Andromeda.
The lords of pride and of lust.
Perseus.
Whence comes she?
