  1. and the lions’ tawny troop left the glen of Othrys and came; came too the dappled fawn on nimble foot from beyond the crested pines and frisked about thy lyre, O Phoebus,
  2. for very joy at thy gladsome minstrelsy.

  2. by Boebe’s lovely mere, bounding his tilled corn-land and his level pastures with the clime of the Molossi near the sun’s dark stable,
  3. and holding sway as far as the harbourless strand of the Aegean ’neath Pelion’s shadow.
