' " " Now be Content, Astica. Henceforth leave to me Thy burden, and thy charge, for thou hast borne It well, and in thy service true, hast worn A heavy heart. She will requite thee well, And well she loves thee. " Thus lanthe spake, Her beauteous face alight; while her glance fell ION A. 147 With love and tenderness upon the lad, Who, fleet as deer, and joyous as a bird, Ran leaping by her chariot. No word She spake escaped him, and his heart grew sad If she but turned her face another way.
Th...us hastening, soon they passed the city gates, And near'd the house of Leros, ere the day Had reached high noon ; and there, as one who waits Impatiently, she saw him stand within The heavy shadow of his door, while one Came forth to lead away her steeds. The sun, Old Leros thought, ne'er shone on one so fair; And bowing low before her, thrice he spake Her welcome, saying, " For the sake Of her who sent thee, tarry long with me. " "Let youth to hoary age obeisance make, " Then said lanthe, " I would pray of thee (Who come alone, unfriended) let me be More than thy guest; I crave to sit as one Who gathered wisdom from thy lips long days Ago, it seemeth now an hundred years, And yet, I still am young, such cares and fears Have compassed me about, I have for thee A message, I would fain convey apart From all.
