Rhyme Scheme: ABA BCB CDC DED EFG HIH IJI| And the cloven waters like a chasm of mountains | A |
| Stood and received him in its mighty portal | B |
| And led him through the deep s untrampled fountains | A |
| - | |
| He went in wonder through the path immortal | B |
| Of his great Mother and her humid reign | C |
| And groves profaned not by the step of mortal | B |
| - | |
| Which sounded as he passed and lakes which rain | C |
| Replenished not girt round by marble caves | D |
| Wildered by the watery motion of the main | C |
| - | |
| Half wildered he beheld the bursting waves | D |
| Of every stream beneath the mighty earth | E |
| Phasis and Lycus which the sand paves | D |
| - | |
| And The chasm where old Enipeus has its birth | E |
| And father Tyber and Anienas glow | F |
| And whence Caicus Mysian stream comes forth | G |
| - | |
| And rock resounding Hypanis and thou | H |
| Eridanus who bearest like empire s sign | I |
| Two golden horns upon thy taurine brow | H |
| - | |
| Thou than whom none of the streams divine | I |
| Through garden fields and meads with fiercer power | J |
| Burst in their tumult on the purple brine | I |
