Martin Lightfoot’sSong
Over the sea, past Crete, on the Syrian shore to the southward,
Dwellsin the well-tilled lowland a dark-haired Æthiop people,
Skilfulwith needle and loom, and the arts of the dyer and carver,
Skilful,but feeble of heart; for they know not the lords of Olympus,
Loversof men; neither broad-browed Zeus, nor Pallas Athené,
Teacherof wisdom to heroes, bestower of might in the battle;
Share notthe cunning of Hermes, nor list to the songs of Apollo.
Fearingthe stars of the sky, and the roll of the blue salt water,
Fearingall things that have life in the womb of the seas and the livers,
Eatingno fish to this day, nor ploughing the main, like the Phœnics,
Manfulwith black-beaked ships, they abide in a sorrowful region,
Vexedwith the earthquake, and flame, and the sea-floods, scourge of Poseidon.
Whelmingthe dwellings of men, and the toils of the slow-footed oxen,
Drowningthe barley and flax, and the hard-earned gold of the harvest,
Upto the hillside vines, and the pastures skirting the woodland,
Inlandthe floods came yearly; and after the waters a monster,
Bred ofthe slime, like the worms which are bred from the slime of the Nile-bank,
Shapeless,a terror to see; and by night it swam out to the seaward,
Dailyreturning to feed with the dawn, and devoured of the fairest,
Cattle,and children, and maids, till the terrified people fled inland.
Fastingin sackcloth and ashes they came, both the king and his people,
Cameto the mountain of oaks, to the house of the terrible sea-gods,
Hardby the gulf in the rocks, wher
