Ask The Gods Nothing Excessive.

Chorus: Zeus, Who Guided Men To Think Who Laid It Down That Wisdom Comes Alone Through Suffering. Still There Drips In Sleep Against The Heart Grief Of Memory; Against Our Pleasure We Are Temperate.

Overly Persuasive A Woman's Ordinance Spreads Far, Traveling Fast; But Fast Dying A Rumor Voiced By A Woman Perishes.

Success Is Man's God.

The Evils Of Mortals Are Manifold; Nowhere Is Trouble Of The Same Wing Seen.

On Him Who Wields Power Gently, The God Looks Favorably From Afar.
