I am a Goddess of the ambrosial courts	A
And save by Here Queen of Pride surpassed	B
By none whose temples whiten this the world	C
Thro' Heaven I roll my lucid moon along	D
I shed in Hell o'er my pale people peace	E
On Earth I caring for the creatures guard	F
Each pregnant yellow wolf and fox bitch sleek	G
And every feathered mother's callow brood	H
And all that love green haunts and loneliness	I
Of men the chaste adore me hanging crowns	J
Of poppies red to blackness bell and stem	K
Upon my image at Athenai here	L
And this dead Youth Asclepios bends above	M
Was dearest to me He my buskined step	N
To follow thro' the wild wood leafy ways	O
And chase the panting stag or swift with darts	P
Stop the swift ounce or lay the leopard low	Q
Neglected homage to another God	R
Whence Aphrodite by no midnight smoke	S
Of tapers lulled in jealousy dispatched	T
A noisome lust that as the gadbee stings	U
Possessed his stepdame Phaidra for himself	V
The son of Theseus her great absent spouse	W
Hippolutos exclaiming in his rage	X
Against the miserable Queen she judged	Y
Life insupportable and pricked at heart	Z
An Amazonian stranger's race should dare	A2
To scorn her perished by the murderous cord	B2
Yet ere she perished blasted in a scroll	C2
The fame of him her swerving made not swerve	D2
Which Theseus read returning and believed	E2
So exiled in the blindness of his wrath	F2
The man without a crime who last as first	G2
Loyal divulged not to his sire the truth	H2
Now Theseus from Poseidon had obtained	I2
That of his wishes should be granted Three	J2
And this he imprecated straight alive	K2
May ne'er Hippolutos reach other lands	L2
Poseidon heard ai ai And scarce the prince	M2
Had stepped into the fixed boots of the car	N2
That gave the feet a stay against the strength	O2
Of the Henetian horses and around	P2
His body flung the reins and urged their speed	Q2
Along the rocks and shingles of the shore	R2
When from the gaping wave a monster flung	S2
His obscene body in the coursers' path	F2
These mad with terror as the sea bull sprawled	T2
Wallowing about their feet lost care of him	U2
That reared them and the master chariot pole	C2
Snapping beneath their plunges like a reed	Q2
Hippolutos whose feet were trammeled fast	B
Was yet dragged forward by the circling rein	V2
Which either hand directed nor was quenched	B
The frenzy of that flight before each trace	W2
Wheel spoke and splinter of the woeful car	N2
Each boulder stone sharp stub and spiny shell	X2
Huge fish bone wrecked and wreathed amid the sands	L2
On that detested beach was bright with blood	B
And morsels of his flesh then fell the steeds	Y2
Head foremost crashing in their mooned fronts	Z2
Shivering with sweat each white eye horror fixed	B
His people who had witnessed all afar	N2
Bore back the ruins of Hippolutos	Z2
But when his sire too swoln with pride rejoiced	B
Indomitable as a man foredoomed	B
That vast Poseidon had fulfilled his prayer	A2
I in a flood of glory visible	A3
Stood o'er my dying votary and deed	B
By deed revealed as all took place the truth	H2
Then Theseus lay the woefullest of men	B3
And worthily but ere the death veils hid	B
His face the murdered prince full pardon breathed	B
To his rash sire Whereat Athenai wails	Z2
So I who ne'er forsake my votaries	Z2
Lest in the cross way none the honey cake	C3
Should tender nor pour out the dog's hot life	D3
Lest at my fain the priests disconsolate	B
Should dress my image with some faded poor	E3
Few crowns made favours of nor dare object	B
Such slackness to my worshippers who turn	F3
The trusting heart and loaded hand elsewhere	A2
As they had climbed Oulumpos to report	B
Of Artemis and nowhere found her throne	G3
I interposed and this eventful night	B
While round the funeral pyre the populace	Z2
Stood with fierce light on their black robes that blind	B
Each sobbing head while yet their hair they clipped	B
O'er the dead body of their withered prince	Z2
And in his palace Theseus prostrated	B
On the cold hearth his brow cold as the slab	H3
'Twas bruised on groaned away the heavy grief	I3
As the pyre fell and down the cross logs crashed	B
Sending a crowd of sparkles thro' the night	B
And the gay fire elate with mastery	J2
Towered like a serpent o'er the clotted jars	Z2
Of wine dissolving oils and frankincense	Z2
And splendid gums like gold my potency	J2
Conveyed the perished man to my retreat	B
In the thrice venerable forest here	L
And this white bearded Sage who squeezes now	J3
The berried plant is Phoibos' son of fame	K3
Asclepios whom my radiant brother taught	B
The doctrine of each herb and flower and root	B
To know their secret'st virtue and express	Z2
The saving soul of all who so has soothed	B
With lavers the torn brow and murdered cheeks	Z2
Composed the hair and brought its gloss again	B3
And called the red bloom to the pale skin back	L3
And laid the strips and jagged ends of flesh	M3
Even once more and slacked the sinew's knot	B
Of every tortured limb that now he lies	Z2
As if mere sleep possessed him underneath	N3
These interwoven oaks and pines Oh cheer	O3
Divine presenter of the healing rod	B
Thy snake with ardent throat and lulling eye	P3
Twines his lithe spires around I say much cheer	O3
Proceed thou with thy wisest pharmacies	Z2
And ye white crowd of woodland sister nymphs	Z2
Ply as the Sage directs these buds and leaves	Z2
That strew the turf around the Twain While I	P3
Await in fitting silence the event	B
