The Statue of Medusa.
OF that Medusa strange,
Who those that did her see in Rocks did change,
No Image carv'd is this;
Medusa's selfe it is:
For while at heate of Day
To quench her Thirst She by this Spring did stay,
Her hideous Head beholding in this Glasse,
Her Senses fail'd, and thus transform'd she was.
