 Pro. Of my other words Be mindful; these, 'tis not the hour to speak But to veil closely; for, preserving these, 'Scape I the anguish and the fetter's shame.

O, never may almighty Jove Oppose his will to my desire! Nor e'er with sacrificial fire, Bull-consuming, sanctified, By my father's deathless tide, May I godward cease to move! Nor e'er my lips offend in pride! But may this counsel aye abide; And never from its source be dried.
