STROPHE II

Yea, Zeus, who leadeth men in wisdom's way, 170

And fixeth fast the law,

That pain is gain;

And slowly dropping on the heart in sleep

Comes woe-recording care,

And makes the unwilling yield to wiser thoughts:

And doubtless this too comes from grace of Gods,

*Seated in might upon their awful thrones.
