In no wise to forget. Take courage then;

In their own time and at the appointed day,

Whoever slights the Gods shall pay for it.

Strophe I

Are come, and very short the time that's left.

A shuddering anguish makes me sore afraid,

Lest small the profit of my wandering flight.

I faint, my sire, for fear.
