With the Sea-maids, the daughters of Nereus, to Ino a life unending

In the deep is ordained for aye.

But to mortals no date is appointed whereon death’s bolt descending

Shall smite; nor can any man say

When one day, child of the sun, shall in calm peace close with unbroken

Blessing. With sorrow and joy run life’s streams, giving no token

How their mutable courses will stray.
