The maidens wore Fine linen robes; the youths had tunics on Lustrous as oil, and woven daintily. The maids wore wreaths of flowers ; the young men swords Of gold in silver belts.

الصفحة 335 - He spake ; the herald Argicide obeyed, And hastily beneath his feet he bound The fair, ambrosial, golden sandals, worn To bear him over ocean like the wind, And o'er the boundless land. His wand he took, Wherewith he softly seals the eyes of men, And opens them at will from sleep. With this In hand, the mighty Argos-queller flew, And lighting on Pieria, from the sky Plunged downward...
