Meleager

Would God ye could carry me
      Forth of all these;
    Heap sand and bury me
      By the Chersonese
  Where the thundering Bosphorus answers
          the thunder of Pontic seas.

Oeneus

Dost thou mock at our praise
      And the singing begun
    And the men of strange days
      Praising my son
  In the folds of the hills of home,
          high places of Calydon?
