Couplet 2

Sic ubi | fata vo|cant, ud|is ab|iectus in | herbis 
    
    ad vada | Maean|dri || concinit | albus o|lor.

So when the Fates call, the white swan sings prophetically
 having been thrown into the damp grass near the safety of the Maeander.

  1. Excellent scansion! "vada Maeandri" should be "near the shallow waters of the Maeander".
