"text": "Delightful Alpheus, stream that nourishest the\r\ncrowns of Zeus,¹ winding with thy muddy water\r\nthrough the plain of Pisa, tranquil at first, but when\r\nthou readiest the sea plunging eagerly under the\r\nwaves of the vast main, now made a bridegroom\r\nconducting the current of his love in a self-made\r\nchannel, thou dost hie to Sicilian Arethusa to be\r\nher watery bed-fellow. Then she, taking thee to\r\nher tired and panting, wipes off the weed and the\r\nbitter flowers of the sea, and joining her lips to thine,\r\nclasping like a bride thy Olympian stream in the\r\nsweet bonds of her embrace, lulls thee to sleep lying\r\nin her bosom. . . . and² thy limpid fount was defiled by\r\nshowers of blood, and no longer was thy heart filled\r\nwith desire for thy Syracusan love, but thou didst\r\nhold back thy waters, repressed by blushing shame,\r\nsaving from pollution the sea and thy bridal bed ;\r\nyet, often compelled by thy longing for nuptial in-\r\ntercourse, wouldst thou pass the sea to thy beloved\r\nliquid bride and stand gazing at the stainless water\r\nof Arethusa. And the lovely Arethusa, looking on\r\nthee surging with tears from the Pelorian rock,³\r\nwould pity thee and beat her breasts, and melt like\r\nthe dew on roses, the Sicilian fount responding to\r\nthe lament of the river of Pisa. But he did not\r\nescape the eye of all-seeing Justice, that man of\r\nblood who mowed down the unwedded harvest of\r\nGreece, whereat many wives of the heroes wept\r\nfor the short-lived children to bear whom they had\r\nsuffered in vain.",
