Chorus. These Things are to the Gods alone, To their all-searching Wisdom known; But in your Answer tell in short, And fix upon our last Resort; For Pains th’ afflicted wakeful keep, They only have a sleepless Sleep. Whatever Counsel’s best to thee, That Counsel is the best for me; But see it be in secret done, You know the Man I fix upon. If your Opinion be the same With mine, to prosecute the Scheme, You’ll find what Difficulty lies In all the Projects of the wise.
