The god put Helle's bracelet on his arm,

And swore the sea should never do him harm.180

He clapped his plump cheeks, with his tresses played,

And, smiling wantonly, his love bewrayed;

He watched his arms, and, as they open'd wide

At every stroke, betwixt them would he slide,

And steal a kiss, and then run out and dance,

And, as he turn'd, cast many a lustful glance,

And throw him gaudy toys to please his eye,

And dive into the water, and there pry
