By wealth of heavenly ornament.

Well skilled was each in play and dance

And gentle arts of dalliance.

The glorious wife of many a God

Those beautiful recesses trod,

There Gods and Dánavs, all who eat

The food of heaven, rejoiced to meet.

The swan and Sáras thronged each bay

With curlews, ducks, and divers gay,

Where the sea spray rose soft and white
