And still another heard. But Aphrodite,
Listening while Daniel sat, could smile
And wait; could think and wait. It was the time
For punishing this man who in his dreams
Refused her. She could wait and let it work—
The punishment she planned.
For she had looked
Last night along the valley, and seen coming,
Hapless on the highway, two small wanderers,
And said: They shall be mine.
