No man is now, nor shall be, portionless + 

Of trouble: yet on Battus’ line + 

Still waits the olden bliss, though happiness + 

And grief may intertwine. + 

Kyrene’s warder-tower is this, a light + 

Of splendour on the stranger shed. + 

Yea, thunder-throated lions in affright + 

From Battus’ outcry fled⁠— + 

That voice from overseas! Your founder Apollo + 

Thrilled them with dread, that on the word + 

Of prophecy might sure fulfilment follow + 

For him, Kyrene’s lord. + 
