The Statue of Medusa

Of that Medusa strange,
Who those that did her see in rocks did change,
None image carved is this;
Medusa's self it is,
For whilst in heat of day
To quench her thirst she by this spring did stay,
Her curling snakes beholding in this glass,
Life did her leave, and thus transformed she was. 

– William Drummond of Hawthornden (1616)
