Aulis and Mycalessus to the point 1091

Of vext Euripus: fear not then the stream,

Nor scenting think to taste, but plunging in

Breast its salt current to the further shore.

For on this island mayst thou lose awhile

Thy maddening pest, and rest and pasture find,

And from the heafs of bold Macistus see

The country left and sought: but when thou feel

Thy torment urge, move down, recross the flood,

And west by Harma’s fencèd gap arrive
