52 From clear interpreters—a speech most seemly!

But speak thou, herald! Meneleos I ask of:

If he, returning, back in safety also

Will come with you—this land's beloved chieftain?

There's no way I might say things false and pleasant

For friends to reap the fruits of through a long time.

How then if, speaking good, things true thou chance on?

For, sundered, not well-hidden things become they.
