‘Unto admonition of you two given, O goddess,

Even the greatly incensed should yield; ’tis well to obey you;

Who to the voice of the gods is obedient, they will assist him.’

ELEGIACS.

I

From thy far sources, ’mid mountains airily climbing,

Pass to the rich lowland, thou busy sunny river;

Murmuring once, dimpling, pellucid, limpid, abundant,

Deepening now, widening, swelling, a lordly river.
