Least of the blameless gods that dwell on high,
Assist thee, wert thou worthier than thou art.
28
‘But know if Eros love thee, that thy hopes
Should rest on him; and I would bid thee go
Where in his mother’s house apart he mopes
Grieving for loss of thee in secret woe:
For should he take thee back, there is no power
In earth or heaven will hurt thee from that hour,
Nay, not if Zeus himself should prove thy foe.’
