Chapter_279

“By the Gods’ doom to Abas’ street-ways stately.”

So Amphiaraus spake. And also I

Cast on Alkmaion’s tomb, rejoicing greatly,

My wreaths of song: the dews of poesy

Thereon shall lie.

Neighbour and warder of my wealth is he,

Who met me to earth’s storied centre faring

With triumph-boding. Dead, he still is sharing

In his forefathers’ gift of prophecy.
