Standing hard by my sepulchre, feared much,

680

And her libations graciously received;

But ye wail loud near this my sepulchre,

And shouting shrill with cries that raise the dead,

Ye call me with your plaints. No easy task

Is it to come, for this cause above all,

That the great Gods who reign below are apter

To seize men than release: yet natheless I,

Being great in power among them, now am come.
