But unafraid that stranger answering spake to the king + 

With unangry words: “The wisdom of Cheiron hither I bring: + 

From Chariklo and Philyra’s presence, from the cave of the shadows I come + 

Whom the Centaur’s stainless daughters reared in their mountain-home. + 

Years twice ten there I accomplished, and never deed or word + 

In truth or in honesty lacking in me have they seen or heard. + 

And hither I come returning to this the home of my race + 

To win me back the honour that in unforgotten days + 

Was my sire’s, which a godless usurper out of his hands hath torn, + 

The honour to Aiolus granted of Zeus, by his sons to be borne. + 
