Simulacrum |
| Pygmalion could no longer |
| Love his own |
| Humankind |
| Propoetides dared to deny |
| The great Venus |
| He abhorred their lives and souls |
| And sought to carve his own form |
| Galatea — the embodiment |
| Of human perfection |
| Purity — the unliving, ivory reflection |
| Nature cannot with this art compare |
| Humanity cannot transcend her form so fair |
| With solemn rites performed, he calls her bride |
| With blandishments he invites her to his side |
| Pygmalion approached the shrine |
| And implored the powers divine |
| If all we can require, be ours to bestow |
| Give me likeness of this being |
| Divinity favoured his plea |
| Transfigured into flesh |
| He presses the pulse |
| And feels the leaping vein |
| Behind the glint of silver eyes |
| A soul is born and usurps her mind |
