Zeus shall send rain, long rain and flaw of driven Hail, and a whirling darkness blown from heaven; To me his Levin-light he promiseth O'er ships and men, for scourging and hot death: Do thou make wild the roads of the sea, and steep With war of waves and yawning of the deep, Till dead men choke Euboea's curling bay.
