Adonis (Ado´nis), the beautiful attendant of Venus, who held her train. He was killed by a boar, and turned by Venus into an anemone.
“Even as the sun with purple-colored face
Had ta’en his last leave of the weeping morn.
Rose-cheeked Adonis hied him to the chase;
Hunting he loved, but love he laughed to scorn.”
