Epigraph
Immortal Sappho, maid divine,
Thou sharest with the heavenly nine
All honor. Shout through all the town
That on her head we place a crown.
Hasten with the chaplet green,
Greet her one and all as queen;
The Lesbian, a tenth muse we name,
And prophesy that her bright fame
Shall spread o’er all the world.
This title till the stars do fall,
Nations yet unborn shall call
And glorify her name.
(LUCY MILBURN)
