When the toiler cometh home,
'Tis sweet to find the household fair-arrayed.
Electra (-416)
Let none dream, though at starting he run well,
That he outrunneth Justice, ere he touch
The very goal and reach the bourn of life.
Electra (-416)
I have seen ere now a noble father's son
Proved nothing-worth, seen good sons of ill sires,
Starved leanness in a rich man's very soul,
And in a poor man's body a great heart.
Electra (-416)
I care for riches, to make gifts
To friends, or lead a sick man back to health
With ease and plenty. Else small aid is wealth
For daily gladness; once a man be done
With hunger, rich and poor are all as one.
Electra (-416)
