But to reproach with contumelious phrase

Who wrong not us, nor courtesy allows,

Nor Themis wills. Whence are ye?

Chorus.

Daughter of Jove,

’Tis shortly said: of the most ancient Night

The tristful daughters we, and our dread name,

Even from the fearful Curse we bear, we borrow.[f14]

Athena.

I know you, and the dreaded name ye bear.
