He left for night profound, reseeking Dis;

And as he plunged within the depths of earth,

The yawning chasm closed and left no trace.

The sea lies tranquil, motionless; the wind

Its boisterous threats abates, and where but now200

The storm-tossed waters raged in angry mood,

The gentle waves lap harmless on the shore;

While from afar the band of Tritons sounds

The marriage chorus of their kindred lord.
