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]]
