Chorus
And mortals who the land possessed,
While pallid terror shook their breast,
560
Amazed a shape unwonted saw,—
Half heifer and half maid,
Mortal and brute, bi-formed. With awe,
The wondrous portent they surveyed.
Who then was he who gently soothed to rest
Far-roaming Io, brize-stung, sore distrest?
