That I am silent; for with the consciousness I gnaw my heart,

Seeing myself thus basely used.

And yet to these new gods their shares

Who else than I wholly distributed?

But of these things I am silent; for I should tell you

What you know; the sufferings of mortals too

You've heard, how I made intelligent

And possessed of sense them ignorant before.

But I will speak, not bearing any grudge to men,

But showing in what I gave the good intention;
