He dies and is lamented by the Goddess of Love.His burial in the fall was always attended with emotionallamentations, while his birth in the spring, when he ap-pears from Proserpines realm, fresh, young and tender, wasalways attended with festivals and rejoicing. I judge itwould be of great interest to the reader to peruse some ofthe idylls and poems both of ancient and modern writers onAdonis. Bions Adonis read in connection with the fif-teenth idyll of Theocrates; Shakespeares Venus andAdonis, Miltons Comus, will be of interest, and for il-lustrative poems, sonnets and lyric poems see John Keats,Shelley and Tennyson.

After her beauty, grace and unparalleled dignity had beenheralded thruout the land, Venus became distracted and de-jected over having a rival that was destined to eclipse herradiance and win the palm of beauty from her. She knewif Paris would have seen her at the wedding of Peleus andThetus, when he presented the gold
