Zeus, / Brazen-thunder-hurler, / Cloud-whirler, son-of-Kronos, / Send vengeance on these Oreads / Who strew / White frozen flecks of mist and cloud / Over the brown trees and the tufted grass / Of the meadows, where the stream / Runs black through shining banks / Of bluish white.
Zeus, / Are the halls of heaven broken up / That you flake down upon me / Feather-strips of marble?
Dis and Styx! / When I stamp my hoof / The frozen-cloud-specks jam into the cleft / So that I reel upon two slippery points.
Fool, to stand here cursing / When I might be running!
