But who is that who comes with grace of kings

Displayed upon his face, his lofty head830

Held high in kingly pride? In countenance,

How like the young Pirithoüs he seems,

Were not his cheeks too deadly pale and wan,

And if his hair fell not in locks unkempt.

Behold, 'tis Theseus' self returned to earth.
