Fraternal tenderness has paved a way
To and from twilight to radiant day;
Alcides—did not friendship bring him down?
Theseus also—if but that!—
Me, love’s crown,
The noblest, filial piety, draws,
Though into Tartarus’s very jaws!
By no bare title holdest thou in fee
Avernus by gift from great Hecate;
Thine leave to grant, with me the right of love
