They sat; and summoned by the bridegroom, came,

To mix with those, the Lapythæan name:

————————The roofs with joy resound,

And Hymen, Iö Hymen, rung around.

Raised altars shone with holy fires: the bride

Lovely herself, (and lovely by her side

A bevy of bright nymphs, with sober grace,)

Came glittering like a star, and took her place.

Her heavenly form beheld, all wished her joy;

And little wanted, but in vain their wishes all employ.
