And give our spears their spoil, the wild boar’s hide,

40

Sent in thine anger against us for sin done

And bloodless altars without wine or fire.

Him now consume thou; for thy sacrifice

With sanguine-shining steam divides the dawn,

And one, the maiden rose of all thy maids,

Arcadian Atalanta, snowy-souled,

Fair as the snow and footed as the wind,

From Ladon and well-wooded Mænalus

Over the firm hills and the fleeting sea

Hast thou drawn hither, and many an armèd king,

50

Heroes, the crown of men, like gods in fight.
