There sat he high retired from the seas;

There looked with pity on his Grecians beaten;

There burned with rage at the God-king who slew them.

Then rushed he forward from the rugged mountain;

He beat the forest also as he came downward,

And the high cliffs shook underneath his footsteps;

Three times he trod, his fourth step reached his sea-home.

There was his palace in the deep sea-water,

Shining with gold and builded firm forever;

And there he yoked him his swift-footed horses
