Pro di immortales, tempestatem cuius modi

Neptunus nobis nocte hac misit proxima.

detexit ventus villam—quid verbis opust?

non ventus fuit, verum Álcumena Euripidi,

inlustrioris fecit fenestrasque indidit.

SCEPARNIO

(to himself.)

O ye immortal Gods, what a dreadful tempest has Neptune sent us this last night!

The storm has unroofed the cottage. What need of words is there? It was no storm, but what Alcmena met with in Euripides¹; it has so knocked all the tiles from off the roof; more light has it given us, and has added to our windows.
