By the fierce Borean blasts;

STROPHE III.

Blasts from Strymon[f12] adverse braying,

Harbour-vexing, ship-delaying,

Snapping cables, shattering oars,

Wasting time, consuming stores,

With vain-wandering expectation,

And with long-drawn slow vexation

Wasting Argive bloom.

At length the seer forth-clanged the doom,
