CASTOR AND POLLUX.
The Twenty-second Idyllium of Theocritus, newly translated
from the Greek, by Francis Fawkes, M.A.
This is a hymn, after the manner of the ancient Arcadians in
praise of Castor and Pollux, . . . [11 lines introduction]
The sons of Leda, and of Jove I sing,
Immortal Jove, the aegis-bearing King,
Castor and Pollux, with the caestus grac'd,
Which round her wrist thick thongs of bullhide brac'd;
. . . [20 lines]
O friends of human kind in utmost need,
Fam'd for the song, the lyre, the gauntlet and the steed!
. . . [2 1/2 columns]
