HermonaxH. D.
G
Ino,
Leaving warm meads
For the green, grey-green fastnesses
Of the great deeps;
And Palemon,
Bright striker of sea-shaft,
Hear me.
Come to its altar front,
And I
Who can offer no other sacrifice to thee
Bring this.
The wavelets flung it here,
This sea-gliding creature,
This strange creature like a weed,
Covered with salt foam,
Torn from the hillocks
Of rock.
Caster of nets,
Risking chance,
Plying the sea craft,
Came on it.
Cometh gift of sea wreck;
I Hermonax offer it,
To thee, Ino,
And to Palemon.
