In peace, goddess, or war!
HYMN IN PRAISE OF THE CITY EPHESOS
O City Temple-Keeper, praise be thine
For fruitful olive, corn, and clustered vine,
Sweet-watered plain,
And prospered orchard, flocks on sunny sides
Of hills where silver-tracked Kaÿstros glides
To trackless main!
O wide thy roads that height and desert span
For mustered troop and laden caravan,
