No more to plunge through depths of bubbling sea, Startling the finny shoals that downward float
Nor gambol to the reed-pipe’s melody, Breaking the billows round the fisher’s boat!
Child of the foam! fair mermaids clinging close Shall cross on thee to ocean’s end no more:
Huge as the Southern Cape a wave arose, And hurled thee high upon the sandy shore.

Οὐκέτι παφλάζοντα διαΐσσων βυθὸν ἅλμης δελφίς, πτοιήσεις εἰναλίων ἀγέλας,
οὐδὲ πολυτρήτοιο μέλος καλάμοιο χορεύων ὑγρὸν ἀναρρίψεις ἅλμα παρὰ σκαφίσιν
οὐδὲ σὺ γ᾽, ἀφρηστά, Νηρηίδας ὡς πρὶν ἀείρων νώτοις πορθμεύσεις Τηθύος εἰς πέρατα. ἦ γὰρ ἴσον; πρηῶνι Μαλείης ὡς ἐκυκήθη, κῦμα πολυψάμμους ὦσέ σ᾿ ἐπὶ ψαμάθους.
