Seven-uptown girls, seven-uptown boys
Were the fourteen children of Niobe
Whom she praised with her voice above the noise
Of the Thebans who did come to obey
Their religious ways ontowards the gods
Leto and her twins in structures of muds
Niobe was openly an atheist
Niobe did express her atheism
Against the Theban peoples' deism
Mocking the people, they that were their priest
And Leto and Artemis and Apollo
After which death of her kids did follow;
It's believed Leto's twins struck and they died
Tears Eliot forever they said she cried.
