'From whose arms I rushed befrenzied, what a wreck will this body be,

'That admired of thee stood rose-warm in the courts where thy mysteries

'Celebration had from me, me the most splendidly privileged!

'Never more shall I thy temple fill with incenses bewildering;

'Not again hear thy half-murmurs—I am lost!—never, never more.

'I am wrecked on seas of air, hurled to my death in a vessel of flame!

'Hither, sisters! Father, save me! Hither, succour me, Cypria!'

Now a wail of men to Zeus rang: from Olympus the Thunderer

Saw the rage of the havoc wide-mouthed, the bright car superimpending

Over Asia, Africa, low down; ruin flaming over the vales;
