Chapter_142

Now, while I laud a house that thrice can vaunt

Olympian victory, gracious to the guest,

To fellow-burghers courteous, I will chant

With theirs the praise of Corinth heaven-blest.

Here Isthmian Poseidon fixed his portals,

This city glorious⁠—noble sons are hers!

Here hath Fair Governance her home mid mortals,

Here dwell her sisters, city-stablishers,

Justice, and Peace her fellow-fosterling:

God’s stewards of true wealth to men they be,

Themis’s golden daughters, they who bring

Wise counsels from the Queen of Equity;
