And yet may good prevail!

Epode

[*]For she, the fair One, though so kind of heart

[*]To fresh-dropt dew from mighty lion's womb,[[279]]

And young that suck the teats

Of all that roam the fields,

140

[*]Yet prays Him bring to pass

The portents of those birds,

The omens good yet also full of dread.
