And shall I never see you both again,

Except in enmity? Do thou come first

Into thy mother's arms, who hast endured

So many toils, so many miseries,465

And, worn with weary exile, see'st at last

Thy mother's face. Come nearer to me here.

Now sheathe thine impious sword; and this thy spear,

Which even now is quivering with hate

And eager to be thrown, thrust in the ground.

Put by thy shield as well; it keeps me off470
