The royal armament that makes havoc of cities, hath some time since passed over to the adjoining opposite region, having crossed the frith of Helle daughter of Athamas 1
, on a cable-fastened raft, after flinging a many-rivetted causeway by way of yoke over the neck of Ocean.

The Myſians ſhake. A mingled multitude

Swept from her wide dominions, ſkill'd to draw
Th' unerring bow, in ſhips Euphrates ſends
From golden Babylon.
With falchions arm'd
From all th' extent of Aſia move the hoſts

Obedient to their monarch's ſtern command.
Thus march'd the flow'r of Perſia, whoſe lov'd

The world of Aſia nouriſh'd, and with ſighs

A sterminio di città mosse l'esercito
del Gran Re, la terra invase che finitima
surge contro il suolo d'Asia:
75
su compagini di tronchi, su compagini di canapi,
superò d'Elle Atamàntide il tragitto,
poi che un giogo, un ponte tutto irto di cunei
del mar sopra la cervice ebbe confitto.

Ere now they have passed o'er the sea, the manifold host of the king—
They have gone forth to sack and to burn; ashore on the Westland they spring!
With cordage and rope they have bridged the sea-way of Helle, to pass
O'er the strait that is named by thy name, O daughter of Athamas!
80
They have anchored their ships in the current, they have bridled the neck of the sea—
The Shepherd and Lord of the East hath bidden a roadway to be!

In die jenseitigen nachbarlichen Gau'n brachen die burg-
ftürmenden Heerschaaren des Großkönigs hindurch schon
In dem wohlfugenden Boot über den Sund der
Athamantischen Helle:

Um den Nacken der See
Schlang sich das Joch, schlang sich der dichtbalkige Heerpfad.
