EARTH LEARNS OF HEAVENLY STEED
Queen Goddess Cybele Presents Her Lion At Tournament of Roses

[Right]
THEME IS CLASSIC 
As Cybele, queen goddess of the gods,
For her own royal steeds to lions changed
That dauntless youth Hippomenes and fair, Fleet Atalanta, whom he won by race,
Defying death when artful Venus willed 
To weld most speed and courage heaven knew;
So Cybele today, her mural crown
A sign fulfilled in Earth's tall clustered towers, 
Drives on through mundane traffic in like grace, 
Forever queen and safely sped alway
While heralds to the modern world proclaim 
That time but serves to strengthen Leo's power.
