And lest the city fall

With its two kings I fear.

Strophe IV

[*]And that atonement of the ancient curse

Receives fulfilment now;[[118]]

[*]And when they come, the evils pass not by.

E'en so the wealth of sea-adventurers,

When heaped up in excess,

Leads but to cargo from the stern thrown out.[[119]]
