" Withi7i the streams, Pausanias saith. 

 That down Cocytiis valley flow. 

 Girdling the grey domain of Death, 

 The spectral fishes come a?id go ; 

 The ghosts of trout fly to and fro, 

 Persepho7ie,ftilfil my wish, 

 Afid gratit that in the shades below 

 My ghost may land the ghosts offish 1 "
