Then to the strong-limbed hero, in token of love that they bare. + 

Stretched forth their hands his comrades, and crowned with garlands his hair, + 

And with loving praises they hailed him, and glad acclaiming shout. + 

Then straightway the wondrous scion of Helios pointed out + 

The place where the golden-gleaming Fleece was hung, wide-strained + 

By the falchion of Phrixus: he trusted the goal should ne’er be attained + 

Of that last toil by the stranger: in a tangled thicket it lay + 

In a ravening dragon’s warding whose jaw-teeth gripped it aye; + 

And in length and in breadth was he greater than a galley fifty-oared + 

Welded by iron mallets with blow upon blow down-poured. + 
