To hoary-headed age at last.
If humble, still the lot is sure
Of lowly homes. Souls lifted high,200
For this to greater depths must fall.
But see, sad Megara comes with flowing hair,
Her little children closely pressing round;
And with her, with the tardy step of age,
The sire of Hercules, Amphitryon.
