forbear those acts which infamy pursues;
wrong and oppression no renown can raise;
know, friend! that virtue is the path to praise.
the stature of our guest, his port, his face,
speak him descended from no vulgar race.
to him the bow, as he desires, convey;
and to his hand if phoebus give the day,
hence, to reward his merit, be shall bear
a two-edged falchion and a shining spear,
embroider'd sandals, a rich cloak and vest,
a safe conveyance to his port of rest."
