III
 Slim adolescence that a nymph has stripped,
 Peleus on Thetis stares.
 Her limbs are delicate as an eyelid,
 Love has blinded him with tears;
 But Thetis' belly listens.
 Down the mountain walls
 From where pan's cavern is
 Intolerable music falls.
 Foul goat-head, brutal arm appear,
 Belly, shoulder, bum,
 Flash fishlike; nymphs and satyrs
 Copulate in the foam.
