Out Of Respect, A Man Must Veil

Chorus: Zeus, Who Guided Men To Think Who Laid It Down That Wisdom Comes Alone Through Suffering. Still There Drips In Sleep Against The Heart Grief Of Memory; Against Our Pleasure We Are Temperate.

Fear Hurries On My Tongue Through Want Of Courage.

"reverence For Parents" Stands Written Among The Three Laws Of Most Revered Righteousness.

Death Is Easier Than A Wretched Life; And Better Never To Have Born Than To Live And Fare Badly.

The Holy Heaven Yearns To Wound The Earth, And Yearning Layeth Hold On The Earth To Join In Wedlock; The Rain, Fallen From The Amorous Heaven, Impregnates The Earth, And It Bringeth Forth For Mankind The Food Of Flocks And Herds And Demeter's Gifts; And From That Moist Marriage-rite The Woods Put On Their Bloom.
