First Line: "THE CLEAR-TONED SWAN, TO THE BEATING OF HIS WINGS" Last Line: "SO HAIL TO YOU, LORD. FOR YOUR GRACE THIS POET SINGS"
The clear-toned swan, to the beating of his wings alighting where Peneus eddies past, sings of you, Phoebus. The sweet-voiced poet sings to his shrilling lyre, of you, both first and last. So hail to you, Lord. For your gace this poet sings.
