Go tell the king
Apollo’s lovely hall
Is fallen to the ground. No longer has the god
His house, his bay-leaf oracle, his singing stream.
The waters that spoke are stilled.
quoted in Charles Freeman, The Closing of the Western Mind, p. 232, who in turn found it quoted in Rowland Smith, Julian’s Gods, p. 224
