And won to wife the Child of Nereus hoary, + 

Thetis the bright-throned, saw the enringing glory + 

Of seats whereon the Lords of sky and sea + 

Were throned, their bridal gifts of sovranty + 

To him and his seed after him revealing, + 

Even the mighty kingdoms that should be. + 

But past Gadeira and the gloom concealing + 

The outsea none press. Turn the sail again + 

Of the ship backward unto Europe’s main. + 

The whole tale of the sons of Aiakus’ line + 

To tell throughout transcends all powers of mine. + 
