Pillars the Hero-god set for a world-famed witness to men

Of their voyaging’s limits. Monstrous beasts had he quelled ere then

In the seas, and had tracked to the end the fen-floods sluggishly flowing

Till he came to the uttermost bourne that constrained his homeward going,

And he meted the bounds of earth:⁠—but to what far foreland art bearing

On an alien shore, my soul, thy bark over dim seas faring?

Nay, I bid thee for Aiakus summon the Muse, and for Aiakus’ race;

For the flower of justice adorneth the precept, “The good shall thou praise.”
