For this is now the twentieth year since I went thence and am gone from my own native land, but never yet heard I evil or despiteful word from thee; nay, if any other haply upbraided me in the palace-halls, whether brother or sister of thine or brother's fair-robed wife, or thy mother but thy father is ever kind to me as he were my own then wouldst thou soothe such with words and refrain them, by the gentleness of thy spirit and by thy gentle words.
