From Project Gutenberg

From Project Gutenberg

For me, I fear no Fates: For if the Phrygians boast them still of answering words of God, Enough for Venus and the Fates that Teucrian men have trod The fair Ausonia's fruitful field: and answering fates have I: A wicked folk with edge of sword to root up utterly, For stolen wife: this grief hath grieved others than Atreus' sons, And other folk may run to arms than those Mycenian ones.
