Mythology
What Europa did was wrong,
But a bull is very strong.
As for Danäe, who could scold
One subdued by showers of gold!
Semele, too, must be forgiven,
For she thought, “A cloud of heaven—
It would very much surprise me
If a cloud could compromise me.”
But to pardon Leda's tale
Mildest tolerance must fail.
What a goose we must believe her,
When a swan could so deceive her!
But a bull is very strong.
As for Danäe, who could scold
One subdued by showers of gold!
Semele, too, must be forgiven,
For she thought, “A cloud of heaven—
It would very much surprise me
If a cloud could compromise me.”
But to pardon Leda's tale
Mildest tolerance must fail.
What a goose we must believe her,
When a swan could so deceive her!
