“Take, take, O Mother, take my trembling thanks!
As beat his heart who clomb to weary heights
When blew the gracious zephyrs round his brow;
So braced by loving words, my life rebounds
Within obedient range, and gathers strength

34

To pace the lonely path prescribed by Fate,
Athena's self disclosed.
