Dost hurl, at whose command the clouds disperse,

Who rul'st the starry heavens and the lands,

To whom triumphant victors bring their spoils;

And thee, O sister of thy mighty lord,805

Argolic Juno, here I offer now

All fitting gifts—and so fulfil my vow.

[Exit into the palace.]

Chorus of Argive women: O Argos, famed for thy worthy sons,

And dear to the jealous Juno's heart,

How mighty the children who feed at thy breast!810
