And would have killed fair Ino, but that she fled

Into the sea, preferring there to woo 934

The choking waters, rather than that the arm

Which had so oft embraced should do her wrong.

For which old crimes the gods yet unappeased

Demand a sacrifice, and the king’s son

Dreads the priest’s knife, and all the city mourns.

Or shall I say what shameful fury it was

With which Poseidon smote Pasiphaë,

But for neglect of a recorded vow:
