MAIDENS' SONG by ANONYMOUS

First Line: "NINE ARE WE WHO ENTER, EACH MAIDEN VOTARESS"
Last Line: "GLEAMING LIKE THE STAR-SHINE, BEAUTIFUL TO SEE"
Subject(s): BEAUTY;
NINE are we who enter, each maiden votaress
Come to great Demeter in a pretty dress;
A pretty dress, a necklet of clean-cut ivory
Gleaming like the star-shine, beautiful to see.
