Again the voice of wild deſpair
With ſhrilling ſhrieks ſhall pierce the air;
For high the God of War his flaming creſt
1155
Raiſ'd, with the fleet of Greece ſurrounded,
The haughty arms of Greece with conqueſt bleſt,
And Perſia's wither'd force confounded,
Daſh'd on the dreary beach her heroes ſlain,
Or whelm'd them in the darken'd main.

Alas, the god of war, who sways
The scales of fight in diverse ways,
Gives glory to Ionia!
Ionian ships, in fenced array,
960
Have reaped their harvest in the bay,
A darkling harvest-field of Fate,
A sea, a shore, of doom and hate!
