  1. But when Dan Sol with radiant eyes that fire his face of gold
  2. Surveyed white aether and solid soil and waters uncontrol'd,
  3. And chased with steeds sonorous-hooved the shades of lingering night,
  4. Then sleep from waking Atys fled fleeting with sudden flight,
  5. By Nymph Pasithae welcomed to palpitating breast.
