  1. Dare not denay her, insular Cyclades,
  2. And noble Rhodos and ferocious Thrace,
  3. Propontis too and blustering Pontic bight.
  4. Where she (my Pinnace now) in times before,
  5. Was leafy woodling on Cytórean Chine
  6. For ever loquent lisping with her leaves.
  7. Pontic Amastris! Box-tree-clad Cytórus!
