αλλ' ότε αυτοί, τον
πετρωτόν
ακολουθώντας δρόμο,
σιμά 'ς την πόλιν έφθασαν,— μες την τεχνητήν βρύσι 205
την κρυσταλλένια, 'πώπαιρναν νερόν όλ' οι πολίταις,
του Ιθάκου, του Πολύκτορα και του Νηρίτου κτίσμα,
και από λεύκαις ρυάρικαις ολόγυρ' είχε δάσος,
ολούθεν όλο κυκλικό• ψηλάθεν από βράχο
το κρύον έρρεε νερό• κ' επάν' ήταν κτισμένος 210
βωμός, οπού θυσίαζαν 'ς ταις νύμφαις οι διαβάταις,—
εκεί τους ηύρε ο Μέλανθος, το τέκνο του Δολίου,
κ' είχε κατόπι δυο βοσκούς 'που ωδήγαν διαλεμμένα
ερίφι' απ' όλαις ταις κοπαίς, να φάγουν οι μνηστήρες.

And strange it was to see him pass
With a step so light and gay,
And strange it was to see him look
So
wistfully
at the day,
And strange it was to think that he
Had such a debt to pay.

Norris could tolerate its being for Fanny’s use; and had Lady
Bertram ever thought about her own
objection
again, he might have
been excused in her eyes for not waiting till Sir Thomas’s return in
