THE PROUD ONE'S DOOM, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Queen pearl's own equal - nay
Last Line: And with her pride did into lethe pass.

"Queen Pearl's own equal — nay,
A fairer far am I," May Dewdrop said,
As Sol at break of day
Did kiss the sparkler on her grass-blade bed.

"None may my charms resist!"
"None," Sol still kissing answered, when alas!
The proud one turned to mist,
And with her pride did into Lethe pass.
