⁠And strong affection move thy heart

⁠To grant of all an equal part, ⁠170
⁠Beneath the earth thy half breath draw,
⁠And by the same impartial law,
⁠Half in the golden domes of heaven."
⁠'Twas thus the immortal father spoke;
⁠Nor could weak doubts his mind provoke ⁠175
⁠To slight the generous offer given.
The god anew the eye and voice unbound
Of Castor, with his brazen helmet crown'd. ⁠170
