Pegastágon lead them on.
Arsámes the mighty, whose word commands
The strength of the sacred Memphian bands,
And Ariomardus brave, whose sway
The sons of Ogygian[f10] Thebes obey.
And the countless host with sturdy oar
That plough the lagoons of the slimy shore,[f11]
And the Lydians march in luxurious pride,
And the tribes of the continent far and wide
Whom Arcteus and valiant Metragathes lead,
