THOU seest yonder snowy promontory | |
| Jutting out o’er the sea. That is the rock | |
| Of Leucaté. From it Deucalion, | |
| To cure himself of love for matchless Pyrrha; | |
| Phobus, Phocension of the house of Codrus, | 5 |
| And Cephalus, the son of Dyonesus, | |
| And sad rejected lover of Ptaola, | |
| To heal love’s wounds, headlong impetuous leaped. | | | | |
