A human voice distinct, struck on my ear.

Till now they send him dreams and no more deed ; So doth he flame again with might for action,
Forgetful

At length, the Hero
Menelaus
join'd 210
Our fleets at Lesbos; there he found us held
In deep deliberation on the length
Of way before us, whether we should steer
Above the craggy Chios to the isle
Psyria, that island holding on our left,
Or under Chios by the wind-swept heights
Of Mimas.

LXXI
No longer mourn for me when I am dead
Than you shall hear the surly sullen bell
Give warning to the world that I am fled
From this vile world with vilest worms to dwell:
Nay, if you read this line, remember not
The hand that writ it, for I love you so,
That I in your sweet
thoughts
would be forgot,
If thinking on me then should make you woe.

Leaving in my arms only his

Sad object of the god's triumphant anger,
Unrecognisable, even to his own father.

This, too, a covert shall ensure,
To shield them from the storm;
And coward maukin sleep secure,
Low in her grassy form:
Here shall the
shepherd
make his seat,
To weave his crown of flow'rs;
Or find a shelt'ring, safe retreat,
From prone-descending show'rs.
