iiei B BP to e t ei Pyramus and Thisbe DOROTHY CARLSON Pyramus and Thisbe in Babylonia did tarry. Lovers were they, yet forbidden to marry. Their parents allowed them to talk not at all, But talk they did, through a hole in the wall. They finally decided to endure it no longer, And oft from their cruel parents they ' d wander. On a certain evening they decided to meet By a mulberry tree, then make their retreat. Thisbe stole forth at the appointed time, And reached the tryst just before nine. When she heard a soft footfall, she turned to behold, By the river, drinking, a lioness bold. Dropping her veil Thisbe fled with a cry, And found ' mong the rocks a hiding place, dry. There she fearfully waited, knowing naught else to do, Till after an interval, the lioness was through. True to his word, Pyramus promptly arrived, At the place where the mulberry tree then thrived. But no sign of Thisbe could he find there, But a piece of her veil and a wisp of her hair. The veil was all torn and much stained with blood, Yes, there were the footprints of a beast in the mud. As the worst dawned on Pyramus, he piteously cried, Was it to meet me, Thisbe, that you so nobly died? Pyramus drew his sword ' neath the mulberry tree, For life was naught to him without noble Thisbe. At this very moment Thisbe, after hearing no sound, Came forth and saw Pyramus lying on the ground. With sword in his heart, and empty scabbard by his side, The truth dawned upon Thisbe and by his sword she died. And in reverent memory of these two noble dead, That very day the berries of the mulberry tree turned red. i 1 i H-::i ;!i. ;:i. isi! ,;vrti :!ii:;;!
