“With hearts of reverence rendering due measure
Of service to the Gods for ever blest.”
As water chiefest is, and of all treasure
Gold is held goodliest,
So Glory’s pinnacle doth Theron gain
By his high prowess: yea, his fame hath won
To Heracles’ pillars! Farther to attain
Wise and unwise all fruitlessly should strain,
Nor press I vainly on.
