[142]

LIV






Thus at times, with tender feet the Cretan woman dance in measure round the fair altar, trampling the fine soft blooms of the grass.





Mr. Moreton J. Walhouse thus combines the
        previous fragment with this: —



Then, as the broad moon rose on high,
The maidens stood the altar nigh;
     And some in graceful measure
        The well-loved spot danced round,
    With lightsome footsteps treading
        The soft and grassy ground.
