Cleft ground, where from the hills of Byblinus,²²
The Nile outpours his holy, pleasant wave.
He will conduct thee to the Niiean land,
Triangular, whereon a long abode
Tate hath ordained for thy sons and thee.
If aught I speak obscure, or aught perplex'd,
Repeat thy question, make thy knowledge clear.
Behold, I have more leisure than I covet.
Cho. If thou can utter aught remaining still,
Or aught omitted, of her wasting woes,
Say on: but if the all be now reveal'd,
Yield us the pray'd-for grace thou wottest of.
Pro. Her ear hath heard her wand'ring's utmost bound;
And that she eke may know she heard not vainly,
I will declare her toils already past,
Giving this witness to my prophecies.
Words multitudinous I leave, and seek
The goal from whence her wand'rings first began;
