    Chorus

    I have soared aloft with poetry and with high thought, and though I have laid my hand to many a reflection, [965]  I have found nothing stronger than Necessity, nor is there any cure for it in the Thracian tablets set down by the voice of Orpheus nor in all the simples which Phoebus [970]  harvested in aid of trouble-ridden mortals and gave to the sons of Asclepius.
