Aeschylus. The poetical works of Robert Browning, Volume 13. Browning, Robert, translator; Berdoe, Edward, editor. London: Smith, Elder and Co., 1889.

  1. By storm and typhoon, with surge rain-resounding, —
  2. Off they went, vanished, thro’ a bad herd’s whirling.
  3. And, when returned the brilliant light of Helios,
  4. We view the Aigaian sea on flower with corpses
  5. Of men Achaian and with naval ravage.
  6. But us indeed, and ship, unhurt i’ the hull too,
  7. Either someone outstole us or outprayed us —
  8. Some god — no man it was the tiller touching.
