Horse-like was wont to prance from, and subdue

The land of Thessaly, that bestial crew.

The golden-headed spot-back'd stag he slew,

That robber of the rustics: glorified

Therewith the goddess who in hunter's pride

Slaughters the game along Oinoé's side.

And, yoked abreast, he brought the chariot-breed

To pace submissive to the bit, each steed

That in the bloody cribs of Diomede

Champed and, unbridled, hurried down that gore
