In ordered lines uprose; and high on the roofs of the halls

Did a coping of stone upon rows of brazen triglyphs lie.

And over the threshold in peace they went. And hard thereby

Were garden-vines in fulness of blossom, mantled o’er {220}

And the second with wine, and the third with incense-breathing oil.

And with water the fourth ran; steaming for heat did the same upboil

At the setting-tide of the Pleiads; but out of its rock-hewn cave
