Delaying pleasure for the love of pleasure,

I dally—Come, Argeia, and share my triumph!

And set our daughter by thee; though her eyes

Are young, there are no eyes this day so young

As shall forget this day—while one thing more

I ask of thee; this evil, will it light 851

On me or on my house or on mankind?

Pr. Scarce on mankind, O Inachus, for Zeus

A second time failing will not again

Measure his spite against their better fate.
