Now Pitane bare, by Lord Poseidon fathered, + 

Evadne of the violet hair, men say, + 

But hid her shame ’neath vesture-folds upgathered, + 

Till she might send her maidens thence away, + 

Bidding them bear her babe to Eilatus’ son + 

Who at Phaisane ruled in hill-girt places + 

Arcadian, and his lot by Alpheus won. + 

There was Evadne nurtured: in the embraces + 

Of Phoebus her love’s story was begun. + 
