R if you have a foeman to sub- due, Our services we freely offer you ; If you have colonies to pacify, Or for humanity you wish to try For territorial expansion, then I freely offer you my god-like men. But rest assured of one thing, once for all, I ' ve vowed to have the Golden Fleece, or fall. " Now king ^Eetes was a diplomat; His royal cheek was flushed, and he stood pat; Concealing well his anger and his spite, He said : " Perhaps your cause is just and right; Perhaps you are as brave as yo...u pretend; I'll put you to the test, and in the end, If you perform the task I have in view, The Golden Fleece I '11 freely give to you. The task is one that I can do with ease, No other can, not even Hercules. I have a pair of bulls, whose pedigree Is of the purest strain, as you'll agree: 104 By Vulcan's f orge, and out of molten brass, Their food is fire and f lame instead of grass* These brazen bulls, whose breath is fire and flame, Your task will be to render kind and tame; Put on the yoke, and harness to a plow With share of adamant; which I'll allow No one but me can safely do and live, But you may try; my leave I gladly give* You next will plough a furrow, straight and true, Across the field of Mars as I can do Then sow, not grain, but teeth of serpent dread, The serpent skin by Cadmus, so 't is said ; And from these teeth your crop will surely rise The self-same day, perhaps to your sur- prise; A crop of fierce and warlike men will grow From out the furrow, armed from head to toe* Then single-handed, you these men must slay Then with the Golden Fleece you'll sail away.
