A Qoryfererpeez SCENE.-Mt. Olympus. The Gods and Goddesses seated in a semi circle around the throne of Jove. TIME.-Commencement, '96. Jove. rising from his throne, holding his sceptre in his hand, addresses the council of divinities thus: Ohl Gods of heav'n and earth. 1've summoned thee To hear from one and all, these wondrous tales Of a new race-more powerful 'tis said, Than any other is or 4.-'er hath been. For men before have striven among themselves, Nor ever dared to rival with the Gods Of high Olympus here. Not so, t'.1is race, With one look conquering man, by art and craft They seek from our high thrones us to depose, And in our places here themselves to sit. But speak! Faint rumors only have I heard, And now the truth I feign would from thee hear. Minerva, rising, advances and kneeling before Jove. says: Ohl Jove, Great Father of ns all and King, Right well I know about this new found race, For, worshiped for my wisdom have I been By every race in every age and land, Ere this new people came, and in their words Such thought they breathed, that I from my high pl Must step aside, I fear. One joy alone Have I, for 'mong this people womankind Holds equal power with man, unlike those states H68 , , .N..,,,,,,,,.,.,,,,,.i,.,, ,...,, lc of the Gods. Which erst have been and made a woman but A slave. And so, thot I, the Goddess great Of wisdom, skill and thought, must bow my head, Resign my sceptre and my throne to them, I yet Shall know a Goddess here as well as God, In my old place shall reign. - Mare, Minerva having finished, stands forth and thus he speaks: Ye Gods and Goddesses do all well know. That me no man in strife has ever met, And lived to see another day. But now, This people in a land beyond The sea, more powerful than me themselves Have shown to be. The people round about, More than my 'proach, these strong young men do fear, Who even in their games unconquered a1'e. Oh! Gods that I should live to see the day When man, weak mortal as he is, should me In battle scorn. My head in shame must bow, And I before this race must in defeat Stand forth and show the world a conquered God. Ile steps aside and from their ranks comes one, and thus speaks Apollo: . Among ye, Gods, I e'er have been the one Sweet songs to sing and lines to say, sweet As honey from far famed Ilymettns brought. All men to me did look, who would feign sing, Or on their harps sweet harmonies would play. But now, alas! My voice must e'er be hushed -20-
