"Still in yon starry heaven supreme,
Jove, all-beholding, all-directing, dwells--
To him commit thy vengeance."--"Electra," p. 174 sqq.
This description of the unsleeping, undecaying power and dominion of Zeus is worthy of some Hebrew prophet--
"Spurning the power of age, enthroned in might,
Thou dwell'st mid heaven's broad light;
This was in ages past thy firm decree,
Is now, and shall forever be:
That none of mortal race on earth shall know
A life of joy serene, a course unmarked by woe."
