MERCURY 



HERE is Mercury. He 

 is carrying a message for 

 his father, Jupiter. 



He was up at the break 

 of day, for he had a long 

 way to go. 



Around his ankles he 

 fastened his winged san- 

 dals. 



He put on his head his 

 low-crowned hat with its 

 two bright wings. 



Then he looked for his 

 .staff. 



Here it is ! It is made 

 of gold. 



There are two snakes 

 twined about it. But they 

 will not harm Mercury !
