but when he comes to share the self-same plague with me, he will take a lesson in wisdom.
732
Chorus
O to be nestling ’neath some pathless cavern, there by god’s creating hand to grow into a bird amid the winged tribes!
Away would I soar to Adrians wave-beat shore and to the waters of Eridanus; where a father’s hapless daughters[*] in their grief for Phaethon
distil into the glooming flood the amber brilliance of their tears.
742
Chorus
And to the apple-bearing strand of those minstrels in the west I then would come, where ocean’s lord
no more to sailors grants a passage o’er the deep dark main, finding there the heaven’s holy bound, upheld by Atlas, where water from ambrosial founts wells up beside the couch of Zeus inside his halls,
and holy earth, the bounteous mother, causes joy to spring in heavenly breasts.
752
Chorus
O white-winged bark, that o’er the booming ocean-wave didst bring
my royal mistress from her happy home, to crown her queen ’mongst sorrow’s brides! Surely evil omens from either port, at least from Crete, were with that ship, what time to glorious Athens it sped its way,
and the crew made fast its twisted cable-ends upon the beach of Munychus, and on the land stept out.
