Dramatis Personæ.

Juno. The Spouse of Jove; allowed to be
Second to none in dignity.

Approved with "blood and iron" to fight.
Venus. Goddess of Beauty, Grace and Wit;
By Pallas, lately, hard was hit.
Thetis. Goddess of Ocean, strong and free;
Holds the dominion of the Sea.
Proserpine. Goddess of Hades; reign'd of old
In Darkness and Cimmerian Cold.
Hebe. Goddess of Youth; inscrib'd of late
Upon the list of "Goddesses Great."
Isis. An Eastern Goddess; once did roam,
But feels in Europe scarce at home.


[All the Dramatis Personæ discovered, standing.]


Proserpine. Now that we've met in Congress, you're aware
The first thing is—that some one take the Chair.
Hebe. I vote for Proserpine.
