CANTO IlL 143 XXXVIII.
The lay of Helen far resounded then, And still resounds afresh through all those lands; It weaves its magic chain in souls of men, And holds them tranced in its fine golden bands Which seem to grow to be life s very strands; The oldest song and yet the latest too, It bears the human and divine commands, True in that elder world and in this new.
xxxix. Ah me, could I but catch one straying shred Of that high strain and fix it in my line, As it comes floating down to music
...wed, I, the barbaric singer, might now shine And call my sisters all the Muses nine. But one is born too late, aye, or too soon; *T is all the same, without the light divine, To watch at night or go to bed at noon.
144 AGAMEMNON S DAUGHTER XL.
The maiden teaches a yet nobler lay It is the lay of Helen s restoration Through her own sacrifice, upon that day When she dared offer life for the salvation Of the lost woman and the lost nation; Through that high deed was broke the future path Whereon man travels to his godlike station, And with him bears the world from its own wrath.
