CASTOR AND POLLUX.
When Winter dips his pinion in the seas,And mariners shudder, as the chilling gale
Makes its wild music through the Cyclades;
What eyes are fix'd upon the cloudy veil,
Twin Warriors! to behold your sapphire mail,
Shooting its splendours through the rifted sky!
What joyous hymns your stars of beauty hail!
For then the tempests to their caverns fly,
And on the pebbled shore the yellow surges die.
