They lament they bemoan the departure of their victim, they expostulate with Apollo, who expels them from his temple. The scene changes; Orestes is at Athens, he pleads his cause before the temple of Minerva. The contest is now shared by gods; Apollo and the Furies are the pleaders Pallas is the umpire, the Areopagites are the judges.
Once to my Fancy's hall a stranger came, Of mien unwonted, And its pale shapes of glory without shame Or speech confronted. Fair was my hall, a gallery of Gods Smoothly appointed; With Nymphs and Satyrs from the dewy sods Freshly anointed. Great Jove sat throned in state, with Hermes near, And fiery Bacchus; Pallas and Pluto, and those powers of Fear Whose visions rack us.
Of a truth, we wanted not for strength; but some God hath destroyed our host, weighing us against our enemies in deceitful balances." And the Queen made reply, "'Tis even so: the Gods preserve the city of Pallas." "Yea," said the man, "Athens is safe, though it be laid waste with fire; for the city that hath true men hath a sure defence."
After some time we had the satisfaction of observing several ships sent to our assistance, namely, the Emerald, the Unicorn, the Indefatigable, the Valiant, the Revenge, the Pallas, and the Aigle. On seeing this, the captain and the crew of the Calcutta abandoned their vessel, of which the boats of the Impérieuse took possession before the vessels sent to our assistance came down."

"I am Pallas Athene; and I know the thoughts of all men's hearts, and discern their manhood or their baseness. And from the souls of clay I turn away, and they are blest, but not by me.
Here are found some of those primitive works of masonry, which usually mark the beginnings of civilization and seem to stand as a witness to posterity that in reality Pallas Athena when she does appear, comes into the world full grown.
And as she slept, the goddess Pallas Athene bathed her face in the Water of Beauty and took all weariness away from her body, and restored all her youthfulness to her. The sound of the handmaidens' voices as they came in awakened her, and Penelope rose up to go into the hall.
Soon the blood by Calchas spilt On the altar heavenward smokes; Pallas, by whom towns are built And destroyed, the priest invokes; Neptune, too, who all the earth With his billowy girdle laves, Zeus, who gives to terror birth, Who the dreaded Aegis waves. Now the weary fight is done, Ne'er again to be renewed; Time's wide circuit now is run, And the mighty town subdued!
