Of thy due honors shortened. If respect

For sacred Peitho’s[f24] godhead, for the honey

And charming of the tongue may move thee, stay;

But, if ye will go, show of justice none

Remains, with rancour, wrath, and scathe to smite

This land and people. Stands your honoured lot

With me for ever, so ye scorn it not.

Chorus.

Sovran Athena, what sure home receives me?

Athena.
