Of all the souls whom Artemis has loved, 
mortals who shine with favor of her pride, 
my bride outshines them all with character 
based on attention to practical needs 
grounded in concerns of body and soul 
fostered by nurture of respectful trust. 

While she is still alive with breath of hope 
her brave brightness illuminates my world 
with rays from Phosphorus, the dawning star, 
and after she joins me in Neverland 
her memory will guide children of our hearts 
with beams of Hesperus, the evening star. 

If Chiron makes blind Phoenix see again 
then he could take me back across the Styx 
so I may bring fruit from tree of Tantalus 
to give ripe apple to bride of my heart 
whose warm embrace could resurrect my soul 
so I can lead her home with Orphean song. 

When I compare true beauty of my bride, 
which emanates from her confident heart 
through deeds of care for children of our souls, 
to glamourous Venus with her graceful stance, 
I pray mad Goddess of Beauty accepts 
that I prefer blunt woman I adore. 

With swift-foot courage of bold Perseus 
I would save from aggressive beasts of hate 
frail spirit of my bride with humble wiles, 
preventing thugs from chaining her with greed 
so she remains free in haven of faith 
to craft her vision of this world in art. 

No haunted Semele, doomed by fierce fate 
to burn at flash of knowledge about love, 
my bride prepares nutritious meals with care 
to nourish us with selfless diligence, 
inspired by signs of Zeus Semaleus 
that guide our journey home to Wonderland. 

Since I can take no wealth my hands acquire 
to afterlife in lush Elysian Fields, 
which is fraudulent fantasy of fear, 
then I bequeath as legacy of love 
earthly treasures to coffers of my bride 
so she may live well long after I die. 

Honored by choice of her pragmatic heart 
to guard hearth of her adept sovereignty 
with generous endowment of selfless love, 
I cherish vibrant spirit of my bride 
so we share cups of juice with mutual trust 
as Mercury and Artemis in love.
