“ Loud through the air resounds the woodman’s stroke,. 
When, lo ! a voice breaks from the groaning oak, 
Spare, spare my life ! a trembling virgin spare ! 
Oh, listen to the Hamadryad’s prayer ! 
No longer let that fearful axe resound ; 
Preserve the tree to which my life is bound. 
See, from the bark my blood in torrents flows ; 
I faint, I sink, I perish from your blows. 
Apollonius Rhodius.
