"Gods of the hquid realms, on which I row l
If, giv'n by you, the laurel brad my brow, Assist to make me guilty of my vow t
A snow-white bull shall on your shore be slain; His offer'd
entrails
cast into the main,
And ruddy wine, from golden goblets thrown,
Your grateful gift and my return shall own.
