SECOND HERALD: Hear ye this:

ye triumphal achievers who have gone beyond

all mortal success;

ye thrice-blessed tribe of wingèd beings,

welcome your lord to his glorious palace.

Behold, he comes

more radiant than a shooting star

flashing its diamond path along—

yea, even than the flames

of the lancing sun’s scintillating rays. . . .

So your master comes, conducting here

a bride beautiful beyond compare

and wielding the wingèd thunderbolt of Zeus.

A perfume without name

floats up through the fathoms of the air, profuse,

and breezes waft the weaving smoke of incense

in a wondrous way.
