Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCAADEAAFFGHIFFF FF| Ye wild eyed Muses sing the Twins of Jove | A |
| Whom the fair ankled Leda mixed in love | A |
| With mighty Saturn s Heaven obscuring Child | B |
| On Taygetus that lofty mountain wild | B |
| Brought forth in joy mild Pollux void of blame | C |
| And steed subduing Castor heirs of fame | C |
| These are the Powers who earth born mortals save | A |
| And ships whose flight is swift along the wave | A |
| When wintry tempests o er the savage sea | D |
| Are raging and the sailors tremblingly | E |
| Call on the Twins of Jove with prayer and vow | A |
| Gathered in fear upon the lofty prow | A |
| And sacrifice with snow white lambs the wind | F |
| And the huge billow bursting close behind | F |
| Even then beneath the weltering waters bear | G |
| The staggering ship they suddenly appear | H |
| On yellow wings rushing athwart the sky | I |
| And lull the blasts in mute tranquillity | F |
| And strew the waves on the white Ocean s bed | F |
| Fair omen of the voyage from toil and dread | F |
| The sailors rest rejoicing in the sight | F |
| And plough the quiet sea in safe delight | F |
