Ambition's leafy handful that oft makes
The mortal brow vaunt as it grew the trees
Of all Olympus.
Phil. What a welcome here
For Sicily's new king! Know, my Theano,
That Dionysius is to castle beaten,
And treacherous Dion from the city thrust,
While Heraclides with me shares the power
Soon to be mine alone, for his fall, too,
Already is assured.
