The Remains of Hesiod the Ascræan, Including the Shield of Hercules / Translated into English rhyme and blank verse; with a dissertation on the life and æra, the poems and mythology of Hesiod, and copious notes.

by Hesiod

Of Arne, of the Myrmidonian towers,

And Helice. So gather’d there around

A numerous people: honouring duteous thus

Ceyx, beloved of the blessed gods.

But [278]the huge mount and monumental stone

Anaurus, foaming high with wintry rains,

Swept from the sight away: Apollo this

Commanded: for that Cygnus ambush’d spoil’d

In violence the Delphic hecatombs.
