ANTISTROPHE III.

Yet, again, I tell thee truly,

At Justice’ altar bend thee duly.

Wean thine eye from lawless yearning

After gain; with godless spurning

Smite not thou that shrine most holy.

Punishment, that travels slowly,

Comes at last, when least thou fearest.

Yet, once more; with truth sincerest,

Love thy parents and revere,
