| Loves choral songs and maidens crown'd with flowers | B |
| Unenvious mount the pinnace hoist the sail | C |
| I promise ye as many as are here | D |
| Ye shall not while ye tarry with me taste | E |
| From unrinsed barrel the diluted wine | F |
| Of a low vineyard or a plant ill pruned | G |
| But such as anciently the Aegaean iles | H |
| Pour'd in libation at their solemn feasts | I |
| And the same goblets shall ye grasp embost | G |
| With no vile figures of loose languid boors | J |
| But such as Gods have lived with and have led | G |
| The sea smiles bright before us What white sail | C |
| Plays yonder what pursues it Like two hawks | K |
| Away they fly Let us away in time | L |
| To overtake them Are they menaces | M |
| We hear And shall the strong repulse the weak | N |
| Enraged at her defender Hippias | M |
| Art thou the man 'Twas Hippias He had found | G |
| His sister borne from the Cecropian port | G |
| By Thrasymedes And reluctantly | O |
| Ask ask the maiden I have no reply | P |
| - | |
| 'Brother O brother Hipias O if love | Q |
| If pity ever toucht thy breast forbear | D |
| Strike not the brave the gentle the beloved | G |
| My Thrasymedes with his cloak alone | R |
| Protecting his own head and mine from harm ' | - |
| 'Didst thou not once before ' cried Hippias | M |
| Regardless of his sister hoarse with wrath | S |
| At Thrasymedes 'didst not thou dog eyed | G |
| Dare as she walkt up to the Parthenon | T |
| On the most holy of all holy days | M |
| In sight of all the city dare to kiss | M |
| Her maiden cheek ' | - |
| - | |
| 'Ay before all the Gods | M |
| Ay before Pallas before Artemis | M |
| Ay before Aphrodite before Her | D |
| I dared and dare again Arise my spouse | M |
| Arise and let my lips quaff purity | O |
| From thy fair open brow ' | - |
| - | |
| The sword was up | U |
| And yet he kist her twice Some God withheld | G |
| The arm of Hippias his proud blood seeth'd slower | D |
| And smote his breast less angrily he laid | G |
| His hand on the white shoulder and spake thus | M |
| 'Ye must return with me A second time | L |
| Offended will our sire Pisistratos | M |
| Pardon the affront Thou shouldst have askt thyself | Q |
| This question ere the sail first flapt the mast ' | - |
| 'Already thou hast taken life from me | O |
| Put up thy sword ' said the sad youth his eyes | M |
| Sparkling but whether love or rage or grief | Q |
| They sparkled with the Gods alone could see | O |
| - | |
| Pir eus they re entered and their ship | V |
| Drove up the little waves against the quay | O |
| Whence was thrown out a rope from one above | Q |
| And Hippias caught it From the virgin's waist | G |
| Her lover dropt his arm and blusht to think | W |
| He had retain'd it there in sight of rude | G |
| Irreverent men he led her forth nor spake | X |
| Hippias walkt silent too until they reacht | G |
| The mansion of Pisistratos her sire | D |
| Serenely in his sternness did the prince | M |
| Look on them both awhile they saw not him | Y |
| For both had cast their eyes upon the ground | G |
| 'Are these the pirates thou hast taken son ' | - |
| Said he 'Worse father worse than pirates they | Z |
| Who thus abuse thy patience thus abuse | M |
| Thy pardon thus abuse the holy rites | M |
| 'Twice over ' | - |
| - | |
| 'Well hast thou performed thy duty ' | - |
| Firmly and gravely said Pisistratos | M |
| Nothing then rash young man I could turn thy heart | G |
| From Eun e my daughter ' | - |
| 'Nothing sir | D |
| Shall ever turn it I can die but once | M |
| And love but once O Eun e farewell ' | - |
| 'Nay she shall see what thou canst bear for her ' | - |
| 'O father shut me in my chamber shut me | O |
| In my poor mother's tomb dead or alive | Q |
| But never let me see what he can bear | D |
| I know how much that is when borne for me ' | - |
| 'Not yet come on And lag not thou behind | G |
| Pirate of virgin and of princely hearts | M |
| - | |
| Before the people and before the Goddess | M |
| Thou hadst evinced the madness of thy passion | A2 |
| And now wouldst bear from home and plenteousness | M |
| To poverty and exile this my child ' | - |
| Then shuddered Thrasymedes and exclaim'd | G |
| 'I see my crime I saw it not before | D |
| The daughter of Pisistratos was born | B2 |
| Neither for exile nor for poverty | O |
| Ah nor for me ' He would have wept but one | A2 |
| Might see him and weep worse The prince unmoved | G |
| Strode on and said 'To morrow shall the people | C2 |
| All who beheld thy trespasses behold | G |
| The justice of Pisistratos the love | Q |
| He bears his daughter and the reverence | M |
| In which he holds the highest law of God ' | - |
| He spake and on the morrow they were one | A2 |
