To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There was the trail of a wild beast in the grass, and near by a woman's veil, torn and stained with blood; he caught it up and knew it for Thisbe's.
So she had come at the appointed hour, true to her word; she had waited there for him alone and de- fenseless, and she had fallen a prey to some beast from the jungle! As these thoughts rushed upon the young man's mind, he could endure no more.
" Was it to meet me, Thisbe, that you came to such a death ! " cried he. " And I followed all too late. B...ut I will atone. Even now I come lagging, but by no will of mine!" So saying, the poor youth drew his sword and fell upon it, there at the foot of that mulberry-tree which he had named as the trysting-place, and his life-blood ran about the roots.
174 PYRAMUS AND THISBE During these very moments, Thisbe, hearing no sound and a httle reassured, had stolen from her hid- ing-place and was come to the edge of the grove. She saw that the lioness had left the spring, and, eager to show her lover that she had dared all things to keep faith, she came slowly, little by little, back to the mul- berry-tree.
