The "Pegasus" that transfixes your gaze here is as gentle and fine as silk.
He is also bold, confident and possessed of the sturdiest of hearts.
Constantly sought for the supposed magical powers of its horn,
the Unicorn was not easily captured.
Although it was kind and gentle of spirit,
it was also extremely quick, graceful and sure of foot.
Which frustrated even those most experienced in their capture.
But there was one sure way to capture a Unicorn.
That was with the help of an innocent maiden.
For the guileless creature was attracted by purity and would
come trustingly forward to rest its head in the maidens' lap.
It was in this way that the defenseless and unwary creature would be taken.
Relaxed and off its feet it would be quietly
surrounded and quickly netted.
And soon there were no more.
Oh how the world now mourns the loss of this magical being.
Now that it's too late we miss its beauty.
