The Proud One’s Doom

‘QUEEN PEARL’S own equal—nay,
     A fairer far am I,’ May Dewdrop said,
As Sol at break of day
     Did kiss the sparkler on her grass-blade bed.
 
‘None may my charms resist!’
     ‘None,’ Sol still kissing answered, when alas!
The proud one turned to mist,
     And with her pride did into Lethe pass.
