Ah, if an earlier violence snatch away Thee my soul's half, why shall I linger here, The other half less dear, Not whole, surviving thus ? Eather one day Shall wreck us both. Never to be forsworn An oath I make : I, whenso thou shalt lead, Will go, yea, go indeed A ready comrade to the last sad bourne. Me never shall Chimaera breathing fire Sunder from thee, nor, could he rise once more, Gyas of hands fivescore ; Great Justice wills it so, so Fates conspire. HOEACE 71 Whether the Balance, or th...e Scorpion's beam Of aspect dire behold me — stronger power To rule the natal hour — Or Capricorn o'er western wave supreme ; Our stars, both one in will, agreement show Past all belief. Thee Jove's refulgent might From impious Saturn's spite Safe-guarding rescued, and could render slow The wings of flying Fate ; what time the throng Thrice in the theatre peal'd forth their joy : Me would a tree destroy HurPd on my brainpan, had not Faunus strong Warded the stroke ; who is the guardian still Of our Mercurial choir.
