  • From Salamis, they say his temples deep
  • He dipp'd in wine, then wreath'd with poplar crown,
  • And bade his comrades lay their grief to sleep:
  • “Where Fortune bears us, than my sire more kind,
  • There let us go, my own, my gallant crew.
  • 'Tis Teucer leads, 'tis Teucer breathes the wind;
  • No more despair; Apollo's word is true.
  • Another Salamis in kindlier air
