Rh To take the city of Priamos did the celestials give,

And, honored by the god, he homeward comes;

But now if, of the former, he shall pay

The blood back, and, for those who ceased to live,

Dying, for deaths in turn new punishment he dooms—

Who, being mortal, would not pray

With an unmischievous

Daimon to have been born—who would not, hearing thus?

Ah me! I am struck—a right-aimed stroke within me!

Silence! Who is it shouts "stroke"—"right-aimedly" a wounded one?
