If to the gods the Just and Right

Still pleasing be, still claim the palm's award.

Horror!

Are we come to the selfsame passion of fear,

Old friends?—such a phantasm fronts me here

Visible over the palace-roof!

In flight, in flight, the laggard limb

Bestir! and haste aloof

From that on the roof there—grand and grim!

O Paian, king!
