ARGONAUTAE.
ACTUS SECUNDUS.
Arcus ¢he son of Purixus, JASON, HERACLES, Castor,
POLLUX, THESEUS, ORPHEUS. Chorus of Heroes.
Chorus of Shipbuilders.
Scene: An open place near Lolchus.
CHORUS OF SHIPBUILDERS.
The sound of the hammer and steel!
The song of the level and line!
The whirr of the whistling wheel!
The ring of the axe on the pine!
The joy of the ended labour,
As the good ship plunges free
By sound of pipe and tabor
To front the sparkling sea!
The mystery-woven spell!
The voyage of golden gain!
The free full sails that swell
On the swell of the splendid main!
