In name of great Oceanus;

By the earth-shaking Neptune’s mace,

And Tethys’ grave, majestic pace,

By hoary Nereus’ wrinkled look,

And the Carpathian wizard’s hook,[[20]]

By scaly Triton’s winding shell,

And old soothsaying Glaucus’ spell,

By Leucothea’s lovely hands,

And her son who rules the strands.

By Thetis’ tinsel-slippered feet,
