For blood, will men respect thy divination?
Apollo.
Must then my father share thy condemnation,
When first he heard Ixion’s supplication?
Chorus.
Thou say’st.[n49] But I, if justice be denied me,
Will sorely smite the land that so defied me.
Apollo.
Among the gods the elder, and the younger,
Thou hast no favour; I shall prove the stronger.
