Chorus song 1 staff 2

The goddess is very powerful. She offers clothing, jewelry, and gold to enhance beauty. Crying alone will not help you defeat your enemies. You must honor the gods and pray for their blessings. This will bring good fortune to you, my daughter. Mighty is the goddess, so come and borrow of me broidered ropes for apparel and jewels and gold that add a further grace to beauty's charms. Does thou think to triumph over thy foes by tears if thou honoured not the gods? Tis not by lamentation, but by pious prayers to heaven that thou, my daughter, wilt make fortune smile on thee.
