Would hold thy thronging wooers, by so far

Outshinest thou all women of the earth

In beauty and in wisdom.

Pen.Still too wise

To fall to flattery; but my grace and favour

The gods destroyed that day the Argives sailed

’Gainst Ilion, and bore hence with them my lord:

But should he come to rule again his house,

Fairer than ever then my fame would be

For all this grief and the thick thrusts of fate.
