And perish struggling in the adventurous seas!

ARLO: My mouth is filled with saltness, and I thirst

For forest-pools that bubble in the shade,

When loud the hot chase pants through every glade,

And fleeing fawns from every thicket burst;

Or clear wine vintaged when the world was young,

Gurgling from deep-mouthed jars of coloured stone.

ASHALORN: The noonday burns my body to the bone,

And sets a coal of fire upon my tongue,

Between my lips, and stifles all my breath.
