So he spoke , and the old man was seized with fear and obeyed his word . He went forth in silence along the shore of the loud-resounding sea , and earnestly then , when he had gone apart , the old man prayed [ 35 ] to the lord Apollo , whom fair-haired Leto bore : " Hear me , god of the silver bow , who stand over Chryse . . .

βῆ δ᾽ ἀκέων παρὰ θῖνα πολυφλοίσβοιο θαλάσσης :
35πολλὰ δ᾽ ἔπειτ᾽ ἀπάνευθε κιὼν ἠρᾶθ᾽ ὃ γεραιὸς
Ἀπόλλωνι ἄνακτι , τὸν ἠΰκομος τέκε Λητώ :
κλῦθί μευ ἀργυρότοξ᾽ , ὃς Χρύσην ἀμφιβέβηκας

So he spoke , and the old man in terror obeyed him
and went silently away beside the murmuring sea beach .
Over and over the old man prayed as he walked in solitude
to King Apollo , whom Leto of the lovely hair bore : ' Hear me ,
lord of the silver bow who set your power about Chryse . . .
