Heard e'en to Lycus' streams the hideous roar.

Hung clustering like the branches of the vine;
In his left hand, his bow unbent he bore,

And the big rolling waves confess'd the God.
Nor dar'd the heroes, seiz'd with dire dismay,
The splendors of his countenance survey,
But on the ground their downward eyes they cast.

O'er the bright spoil the strictest watch he keeps;

And heaven in smiles is open'd on her face.
