Amphitryon · 1852
Act I, Scene IV
Translated by Henry Thomas Riley (1852)
JUPITER, alone.
JUP. Now Night, thou who hast tarried for me, I permit thee to give place to Day, that thou mayst shine upon mortals with a bright and brilliant light. And Night, as much as on this last thou wast too long, so much the shorter will I make the Day to be, that a Day of equal disparity may succeed the Night. I'll go and follow Mercury. (Exit.)
