Exactly as the rain-filled cloud is seen
Lifting earthly vapours through the air,
Forming a bow, and then drinking there
By plunging deep in Tethys' hoary sheen,
Next, climbing again where it has been,
With bellying shadow darkening everywhere,
Till finally it bursts in lightning glare,
And rain, or snow, or hail shrouds the scene:
This city, that was once a shepherd's field,
Rising by degrees, such power did wield,
She made herself the queen of sea and land,
Till
helpless
to sustain that huge excess,
Her power dispersed, so we might understand
That all, one day, must come to nothingness.

And now the four,
Ulysses, dauntless Hero, and his friends
All hurl'd their spears

And in his breast the keeper of the beeves
Ctesippus, glorying over whom, he cried.

And with eyes suddenly altered,

And wonder at a

About thee, as wild vines, about a tree,
Put out broad leaves, and soon there's nought to see
Except the straggling green which hides the wood.

The story is further

who would have clutched at it so eagerly
and given it so gross a turn--till a date more than two hundred years after
Sappho's death.
