4-6.

Percy Bysshe Shelley

Even as the leaves

Which the keen frost-wind of the waning year

Has scattered on the forest soil.

 

Oin per phullon genee, toiede kai andron.

Phulla ta men t’ anemos chamadis cheei, alla de th’ ule

Telethoosa phuei, earos d’ epigignetai ore.

Os andron genee, e men phuei, e d’ apolegei.

 

Iliad Z, line 146.
