But when to Athens’ sacred town I came

And saw my home before me safe restored,

Unharmed I found it, chaste and free of blame,

Yet sad and anxious for its absent lord.

And many a trick and turn must I essay

Before unto my wife I found my way.

Scarce could I bear so basely to deceive her

When I beheld her fair yet sorrowing face:

I longed without more trial to believe her

And take her to my arms in fond embrace.

Sad were her looks; but sadness beauty gave

Such as no other woman e’er shall have.
