Titanian Phœbe;[f5] she in natal gift
With her own name her hoary right bequeathed
To Phœbus: he from rocky Delos’ lake[n2]
To Attica’s ship-cruised bays was wafted, whence
He in Parnassus fixed his sure abode.
Hither with pious escort they attend him:
The Sons of Vulcan pioneer his path,[n3]
Smoothing the rugged desert where he comes:
The thronging people own him, and king Delphos,
The land’s high helmsman, flings his portals wide.
