καρπαλίμως δ`' ἀνέδυ πολιῆς ἁλὸς ἠΰτ' ὁμίχλη:
καί ῥα πάροιθ' αὐτοῖο καθέζετο δάκρυ χέοντος:
χειρί χειρὶ τέ μιν κατέρεξεν: ἔπος τ' ἔφατ'. ἔκ τ' ὀνόμαζε:
τέκνον: τί κλαίεις: τί δέ σε φρένας ἵ̈κετο πένθος:
ἐξαύδᾱ: μὴ κεῦθε νόῳ: ἵνα εἴδομεν ἄμφω:
And speedily she came forth from the grey sea like a mist, and sat down before him, as he wept, and she stroked him with her hand, and spoke to him, and called him by name: "My child, why do you weep? What sorrow has come upon your heart? Speak out; hide it not in your mind, that we both may know."
