When the first rays steal earthward, and the rime

Yields, when I saw three bands of them. The one

Autonoë led, one Ino, one thine own

Mother, Agave. There beneath the trees

Sleeping they lay, like wild things flung at ease

In the forest; one half sinking on a bed

Of deep pine greenery; one with careless head

Amid the fallen oak leaves; all most cold

In purity—not as thy tale was told

Of wine-cups and wild music and the chase
