Thou knowst the oer-eager vehemence of youth,How quick in temper, and in judgement weak.
Zeus it seems has given us from youth to old age a nice ball of wool to wind-nothing but wars upon wars until we shall perish every one.
Even a fool learns something once it hits him.
Zeus does not bring all men's plans to fulfillment.
He knew how to say many false things that were like true sayings.
For I am yearning to visit the limits of the all-nurturing Earth, and Oceans, from whom the gods are sprung.
