Far as the Phasis-flood and frontier-land Æëtéan;
Whenas the youths elect, of Argive vigour the oak-heart,
5
Longing the Golden Fleece of the Colchis-region to harry,
Dared in a poop swift-paced to span salt seas and their shallows,
Sweeping the deep blue seas with sweeps a-carven of fir-wood.
She, that governing Goddess of citadels crowning the cities,
Builded herself their car fast-flitting with lightest of breezes,
10
Weaving plants of the pine conjoined in curve of the kelson;
