In Salamis’ profound retreat
Famed for the luscious treasures of the bee,
High raised above th’ encircling sea
Thou, Telamon, didst fix thy regal seat;
Near to those sacred hills, where spread
The olive first its fragrant sprays,
To form a garland for Minerva’s head,
And the Athenian splendor raise:
With the famed archer, with Alcmena’s son
Thou cam’st exulting with vindictive joy;
By your confederate arms was Ilion won,
When from thy Greece thou cam’st our city to destroy.
