Where far Scamander rolls his swirling flood.

Justly who slew had drawn themselves thy lot,

And perished rather,

And thou their timeless fate had welcomed, not

They thine, my father.

Chorus.

Child, thy grief begetteth visions

Brighter than gold, and overtopping

Hyperborean bliss.[n29]

Ah, here the misery rudely riots,
