On this silt-strown shore,[[212]]—oh, send them

Seaward in their ship swift-rowing;

There, with whirlwind tempest-driven,

There, with lightning and with thunder,

There, with blasts that bring the storm-rain,

May they in the fierce sea perish,

Ere they, cousin-brides possessing,

Rest on marriage-beds reluctant,

Which the voice of right denies them!

Strophe I
