ANTISTROPHE III

And now, I say, in sum, 510

Revere the altar reared to Justice high,

Nor, thine eye set on gain, with godless foot

Treat it contemptuously:

For wrath shall surely come;

The appointed end abideth still for all.

Therefore let each be found full honour giving

To parents, and to those,

The honoured guests that gather in his house,

Let him due reverence show.
