THE FUTURE STATES OF THE JUST AND THE UNJUST.

FROM THE FRAGMENTS OF THE ΘΠΗΝΟΙ OF PINDAR.

Τοῖσι λάμπει μὲν μένος ἀελίου, κ.τ.λ.

Ὀλβίᾳ δ᾽ ἅπαντες αἴσα, κ.τ.λ.

Ψυχαὶ δ᾽ ἀσεβέων, κ.τ.λ.

Ἔνθεν τὸν ἄπειρον ἐρεύγονται σκότον, κ.τ.λ.

O'er the mansions of the BlestDay's eternal sunbeams rest.Meadows, blushing with the rose,Spread before their vestibule;There each fragrant blossom grows,With golden fruits the air is cool.Some the lyre and dance delight,Some the race and games invite;Every form of bliss is there.Some the flaming altars wreathe,And bid the ceaseless incense breatheFresh odours through the air.
All these have closed a stainless life,And placidly resign'd their breath,Ending every toil in death.
