Eons elapsed and orbits disappeared-
the scope of space had her still stupefied.
Insipid infinity as I'd heard,
is myth, misery, misdeeds, multiplied.
Wasn't treachery that had the throne altered
and all her treasure so tactfully tied?
Celestial confines for a queen cornered
blamed, shamed and ceremony-denied!
O Cassiopeia! To have suffered
a sacrifice and then twice be tried,
to have travailed for justice deferred
when 'twas only oracles you'd complied!
Aye, Cassiopeia couldn't you foresee-
Vanity's sentence, an eternity.
