Chorus
From the Tyrian swell of the sea I came, a choice offering for Loxias from the island of
Phoenicia
,
to be a slave to Phoebus in his halls, where he dwells under the snow-swept peaks of
Parnassus
; through the Ionian sea I sailed in the waves,
205
over the unharvested plains, in the gusts of Zephyrus that ride from
Sicily
, sweetest music in the sky.
