] [although
] [sick
].
For of course you were once a young [girl
as if] in song and dance, come to these [who face
You] and converse with us – from this [your heart
Grandly indulge us –

Yourself of this, but that as fast as they can [
Do send away the maidens; the gods [
they] may have.
For not so broad is the path to Olympus,
Mortals [torment
