On the low beach, to leeward of the cliff,

They leapt, and piled their beds, and lit their fires:

Castor meanwhile, the bridler of the steed,

And Polydeuces of the nut-brown face,

Had wandered from their mates; and, wildered both,

Searched through the boskage of the hill, and found

Hard by a slab of rock a bubbling spring

Brimful of purest water. In the depths

Below, like crystal or like silver gleamed

The pebbles: high above it pine and plane
