Οσσα δε μη πεφιληκε
Ζευς, ατυζονται βοαν
Πιεριδων αιοντα.
Pind. Pyth. 1. 24,

Sweet and entrancing was that song
Which Pindar paints the heavens among;
Which held the gods in ecstasy,
And clos'd in sleep the eagle's eye.
“That melody whose sound to hear
Fills every guilty soul with fear,
Whom the great Father doth not love,
Through earth, sea, hell, or skies above.”
