256

Thyself shalt climb the ship's mast with thy feet.

So?—and with shoulders winged, or in what guise?

A dog with fire-red eyes shalt thou become.

How know'st thou of the changing of my shape?

This Dionysus told, the Thracian seer.

.

But nought foretold to thee of these thine ills?

Nay; else with guile thou ne'er hadst trapped me thus.

There shall I die, or live my full life out?

Die shalt thou: and thy grave shall bear a name—

Accordant to my shape?—or what wilt say?

The wretched Dog's Grave, sign to seafarers.
