  Jellyfish, along you came,
  and right away I'm stung.
  Sweet words I long to whisper,
  But you've paralysed my tongue.

As the article says, "medusa" is a modern name for jellyfish.

The Ancient Greeks and Romans called the jellyfish "sea lungs", because of the resemblance between the pulsation of jellyfish and the respiration of terrestrial vertebrates.
