THE WAY TO HADES by ANONYMOUS

First Line: "STRAIGHT IS THE DOWNWARD JOURNEY, THO' IT BE"
Last Line: "ONE BREEZE BLOWS FAIR TO HADES, ONE ALONE"
Subject(s): HADES;
STRAIGHT is the downward journey, tho' it be
From Athens we descend, or Meroe.
If far from home I perished, make no moan.
One breeze blows fair to Hades, one alone.
