That stand before their temples, who protect

This city and this land, and to insure

Our safety mid the people: for our coming

(Being strangers from the distant Nile, and not

Like you that drink the stream of Inachus

In features or in bearing) might seem strange.

Too bold an air might rouse suspicion; men

Oft-times have slain their best friends unawares.
