Low flesh that clothed high soul,—a vesture's fate—

Why, let it fade, mix with the elements

There where it, falling, freed Euripides!

But for the soul that's tutelary now

Till time end, o'er the world to teach and bless—

How better hail its freedom than by first

Singing, we two, its own song back again,

Up to that face from which flowed beauty—face

Now abler to see triumph and take love

Than when it glorified Athenai once?
