More information, pray, Didaskalos!

Rascals! Wait till I get you in the classroom!
The Friend.
How beautiful! There never was a time
When heart of man aloof from worship stood;
No age so dark but best of hand and brain
To temple-rearing has been consecrate!
Receive, O ruined fane, my homage! [He bows toward the Temple.]
