| | | GODS of the sea; | |
| Ino, | |
| Leaving warm meads | |
| For the green, grey-green fastnesses | |
| Of the great deeps; | 5 |
| And Palemon, | |
| Bright striker of sea-shaft, | |
| Hear me. | |
| |
| Let all whom the sea loveth, | |
| Come to its altar front, | 10 |
| And I | |
| Who can offer no other sacrifice to thee | |
| Bring this. | |
| |
| Broken by great waves, | |
| The wavelets flung it here, | 15 |
| This sea-gliding creature, | |
| This strange creature like a weed, | |
| Covered with salt foam, | |
| Torn from the hillocks | |
| Of rock. | 20 |
| |
| I Hermonax, | |
| Caster of nets, | |
| Risking chance, | |
| Plying the sea craft, | |
| Came on it. | 25 |
| |
| Thus to sea god | |
| Cometh gift of sea wreck; | |
| I Hermonax offer it, | |
| To thee, Ino, | |
| And to Palemon. | 30 | | | |
