And the maidens who possess

The Colchian land, in battle terrorless,

And the Scythian host

Who near to the Mæotic lake inhabit earths last coast.

And Araby's brave youth who dwell

Near Caucasus in the high citadel

Poised on the rocks,

A threatening army with barbed spears clashing loud-ringing shocks.

Only one other till yet

Among the gods have we seen bear pain,

The Titan compelled in an adamant chain,

Atlas, who groaning lifts high

The ponderous weight on his shoulders set,

The revolving dome of the sky.

And the ocean billows roar

In a sullen chime, and the deeps resound

With groans, and mutters from underground
