    Lest heedlessness bring death�此�full oft�察�I ween��
    Friend hath slain friend�察�not knowing whom he slew。
  THE KING OF ARGOS
    Go at his side�察�attendants�察�he saith well。
    On to the city's consecrated shrines��
    Nor be of many words to those ye meet��
    The while this suppliant voyager ye lead。
                                    ��DANAUS departs with attendants。��
  LEADER
    Let him go forward�察�thy command obeying。
    But me how biddest�察�how assurest thou��
  THE KING OF ARGOS
    Leave there the new´plucked boughs�察�thy sorrow's sign。
  LEADER
    Thus beckoned forth�察�at thy behest I leave them。
  THE KING OF ARGOS
    Now to this level precinct turn thyself。
  LEADER
    Unconsecrate it is�察�and cannot shield me。
  THE KING OF ARGOS
    We will not yield thee to those falcons' greed。
  LEADER
    What help�拭�more fierce they are than serpents fell。
  THE KING OF ARGOS
    We spake thee fair´speak thou them fair in turn。
  LEADER
    What marvel that we loathe them�察�scared in soul��
  THE KING OF ARGOS
    Awe towards a king should other fears transcend。
  LEADER
    Thus speak�察�thus act�察�and reassure my mind。
  THE KING OF ARGOS
    Not long thy sire shall leave thee desolate。
    But I will call the country's indwellers��
    And with soft words th' assembly will persuade��
    And warn your sire what pleadings will avail。
    Therefore abide ye�察�and with prayer entreat
    The country's gods to compass your desire��
    The while I go�察�this matter to provide��
    Persuasion and fair fortune at my side。
    ��The KING OF ARGOS departs with his retinue。 The CHORUS forms
        to sing its prayer to Zeus。��

  CHORUS
                                                            strophe 1

        O King of Kings�察�among the blest
        Thou highest and thou happiest��
            Listen and grant our prayer��
        And�察�deeply loathing�察�thrust
        Away from us the young men's lust��
              And deeply drown
      In azure waters�察�down and ever down��
        Benches and rowers dark��
        The fatal and perfidious bark��

                                                        antistrophe 1

      Unto the maidens turn thy gracious care��
      Think yet again upon the tale of fame��
      How from the maiden loved of thee there sprung
      Mine ancient line�察�long since in many a legend sung��
        Remember�察�O remember�察�thou whose hand
      Did Io by a touch to human shape reclaim。
    For from this Argos erst our mother came
          Driven hence to Egypt's land��
    Yet sprung of Zeus we were�察�and hence our birth we claim。

                                                            strophe 2

            And now have I roamed back
            Unto the ancient track
    Where Io roamed and pastured among flowers��
            Watched o'er by Argus' eyes��
    Through the lush grasses and the meadow bowers。
      Thence�察�by the gadfly maddened�察�forth she flies
    Unto far lands and alien peoples driven
    And�察�following fate�察�through paths of foam and surge��
    Sees�察�as she goes�察�the cleaving strait divide
    Greece�察�from the Eastland riven。

                                                        antistrophe 2

    And swift through Asian borders doth she urge
    Her course�察�o'er Phrygian mountains' sheep´clipt side��
    Thence�察�where the Mysian realm of Teuthras lies��
            Towards Lydian lowlands hies��
    And o'er Cilician and Pamphylian hills
            And ever´flowing rills��
    And thence to Aphrodite's fertile shore��
    The land of garnered wheat and wealthy store。

                                                            strophe 3

      And thence�察�deep´stung by wild unrest��
    By the winged fly that goaded her and drave��
      Unto the fertile land�察�the god´possest
            ��Where�察�fed from far´off snows��
            Life´giving Nilus flows��
    Urged on by Typho's strength�察�a fertilizing wave����
      She roves�察�in harassed and dishonoured flight��
    Scathed by the blasting pangs of Hera's dread despite。

                                                        antistrophe 3

            And they within the land
            With terror shook and wanned��
    So strange the sight they saw�察�and were afraid´
    A wild twy´natured thing�察�half heifer and half maid。

      Whose hand was laid at last on Io�察�thus forlorn��
          With many roamings worn��
      Who bade the harassed maiden's peace return��

                                                            strophe 4

            Zeus�察�lord of time eterne。
    Yea�察�by his breath divine�察�by his unscathing strength��
            She lays aside her bane��
    And softened back to womanhood at length
            Sheds human tears again。
    Then�察�quickened with Zeus' veritable seed��
            A progeny she bare��
    A stainless babe�察�a child of heavenly breed。

                                                        antistrophe 4

            Of life and fortune fair。
    His is the life of life´so all men say�察�
            His is the seed of Zeus。
    Who else had power stern Hera's craft to stay��
            Her vengeful curse to loose��

            Yea�察�all from Zeus befel��
            And rightly wouldst thou tell
    That we from Epaphus�察�his child�察�were born��
            Justly his deed was done��

                                                            strophe 5

            Unto what other one��
    Of all the gods�察�should I for justice turn��
            From him our race did spring��
            Creator he and King��
    Ancient of days and wisdom he�察�and might。
            As bark before the wind��
            So�察�wafted by his mind��
    Moves every counsel�察�each device aright。

                                                        antistrophe 5

            Beneath no stronger hand
            Holds he a weak command��
    No throne doth he abase him to adore��
            Swift as a word�察�his deed
            Acts out what stands decreed
    In counsels of his heart�察�for evermore。
                                                  ��DANAUS re´enters。��
  DANAUS
    Take heart�察�my children�此�the land's heart is kind��
    And to full issue has their voting come。
  LEADER OF THE CHORUS
    All hail�察�my sire�察�thy word brings utmost joy。
    Say�察�to what issue is the vote made sure��
    And how prevailed the people's crowding hands��
  DANAUS
    With one assent the Argives spake their will��
    And�察�hearing�察�my old heart took youthful cheer。
    The very sky was thrilled when high in air
    The concourse raised right hands and swore their oath�此�
    Free shall the maidens sojourn in this land。
    Unharried�察�undespoiled by mortal wight��
    No native hand�察�no hand of foreigner
    Shall drag them hence�察�if any man use force´
    Whoe'er of all our countrymen shall fail
    To come unto their aid�察�let him go forth��
    Beneath the people's curse�察�to banishment。
    So did the king of this Pelasgian folk
    Plead on behalf of us�察�and bade them heed
    That never�察�in the after´time�察�this realm
    Should feed to fulness the great enmity
    Of Zeus�察�the suppliants' guard�察�against itself��
    A twofold curse�察�for wronging stranger´guests
    Who are akin withal�察�confrontingly
    Should rise before this city and be shown
    A ruthless monster�察�fed on human doom。
    Such things the Argive people heard�察�and straight��
    Without proclaim of herald�察�gave assent��
    Yea�察�in full conclave�察�the Pelasgian folk
    Heard suasive pleas�察�and Zeus through them resolved。

    ��The CHORUS now sings a prayer of thankfulness。��

  CHORUS
      Arouse we now to chant our prayer
      For fair return of service fair
            And Argos' kindly will。
      Zeus�察�lord of guestright�察�look upon
      The grace our stranger lips have won。
      In right and truth�察�as they begun��
    Guide them�察�with favouring hand�察�until
    Thou dost their blameless wish fulfil��

                                                            strophe 1

        Now may the Zeus´born gods on high
            Hear us pour forth
        A votive prayer for Argos' clan� �
        Never may this Pelasgian earth��
    Amid the fire´wrack�察�shrill the dismal cry
        On Ares�察�ravening lord of fight��
    Who in an alien harvest mows down man��
        For lo�察�this land had pity on our plight��
    And unto us were merciful and leal��
    To us�察�the piteous flock�察�who at Zeus' altar kneel��

                                                        antistrophe 1

    They scorned not the pleas of maidenhood��
    Nor with the young men's will hath their will stood。
            They knew right well
    Th' unearthly watching fiend invincible��
    The foul avenger´let him not draw near��
        For he�察�on roofs ill´starred��
    Defiling and polluting�察�keeps a ghastly ward��
    They knew his vengeance�察�and took holy heed
    To us�察�the sister suppliants�察�who cry
        To Zeus�察�the lord of purity��
    Therefore with altars pure they shall the gods revere。
    Thus�察�through the boughs that shade our lips�察�fly forth in air��

                                                            strophe 2

              Fly forth�察�O eager prayer��
          May never pestilence efface
                This city's race��
          Nor be the land with corpses strewed��
              Nor stained with civic blood��
      The stem of youth�察�unpluckt�察�to manhood come��
      Nor Ares rise from Aphrodite's bower��
    The lord of death and bane�察�to waste our youthful flower。

                                                        antistrophe 2

            Long may the old
        Crowd to the altars kindled to consume
            Gifts rich and manifold´
        Offered to win from powers divine
        A benison on city and on shrine��
          Let all the sacred might adore
            Of Zeus most high�察�the lord
          Of guestright and the hospitable board��
    Whose immemorial law doth rule Fate's scales aright��
            The garners of earth's store
            Be full for evermore��
    And grace of Artemis make women's travail light��
