Wherewith the thunderbolts for Zeus are steeled;

Nor yet on Thetis, she who bade her daughters

For him be fisherfolk of pearl and coral

That thus his decking fail not of its fill.

But this sword—why, I knew the man that forged it,

And him by whom this diadem was pieced!

Kan.

Eh, Gyges!

Thoas.

Sire, fair faith speaks out of me!
