They leapt ashore, and, keeping rank, prepared

Their evening meal: a grassy meadow spread

Before their eyes, and many a warrior shared

And sworded bulrush, Hylas slipt from them.

Water the fair lad wont to seek and bring

To Heracles and stalwart Telamon,

(The comrades aye partook each other's fare,)
