ROCKS OF THE STROPHADES.

" Servatum ex undis Strophadum me littora primum
Accipiunt. Strophades Grajo stant nomine dictae
Insulas Ionio in magno : quas dira Celasno,
Harpyasque colunt alias : Phineia postquam
Clausa domus, mensasque metu liquere priores.
Tristius haud illis monstrum, nee saevior ulla
Pestis et ira Deum Stygiis sese extulit undis."

Viegii,, ^Eneid. III. 209.

" I reached at last, safe from the threatening seas,
The islets, named of Greece the Strophades,
Clustering amid the Ionian deep they stood,
Haunts of Celaeno and her Harpy-brood ;
They, driven by terror from their ancient feasts,
From Phineus' dwelling came, abhorred guests !
Than them did never Stygian darkness nurse,
Nor Heaven let loose on earth a loathlier curse."

J. P.

Yet one remained—the Messenger of Fate,
High on a craggy cliff Celaeno sate."

Deyden's Viegil, iEneid III.
