16 And who it was that after came to be,

Met the thrice-throwing wrestler,—he

Is also gone to ground.

But "Zeus"—if any, heart and soul, that name—

Shouting the triumph-praise—proclaim,

Complete in judgment shall that man be found.

Zeus, who leads onward mortals to be wise,

Appoints that suffering masterfully teach.

In sleep, before the heart of each,

A woe-remembering travail sheds in dew

Discretion,—ay, and melts the unwilling too

By what, perchance, may be a graciousness

Of gods, enforced no less,—

As they, commanders of the crew,

Assume the awful seat.
