NEOPTOLEMUS
Doubtless in search of food�察�and not far off��
For such his manner is�察�accustomed here��
So fame reports�察�to pierce with winged arrows
His savage prey for daily sustenance��
His wound still painful�察�and no hope of cure。
CHORUS
strophe 2
Alas� �I pity him。 Without a friend��
Without a fellow´sufferer�察�left alone��
Deprived of all the mutual joys that flow
From sweet society´ distempered too��
How can he bear it�拭�O unhappy race
Of mortal man� �doomed to an endless round
Of sorrows�察�and immeasurable woe��
antistrophe 2
Second to none in fair nobility
Was Philoctetes�察�of illustrious race��
Yet here he lies�察�from every human aid
Far off removed�察�in dreadful solitude��
And mingles with the wild and savage herd��
With them in famine and in misery
Consumes his days�察�and weeps their common fate��
Unheeded�察�save when babbling echo mourns
In bitterest notes responsive to his woe。
NEOPTOLEMUS
systema 3
And yet I wonder not�察�for if aright
I judge�察�from angry heaven the sentence came��
And Chrysa was the cruel source of all��
Nor doth this sad disease inflict him still
Incurable�察�without assenting gods��
For so they have decreed�察�lest Troy should fall
Beneath his arrows ere the' appointed time
Of its destruction come。
CHORUS
strophe 3
No more�察�my son��
NEOPTOLEMUS
What sayst thou��
CHORUS
Sure I heard a dismal groan
Of some afflicted wretch。
NEOPTOLEMUS
Which way��
CHORUS
E'en now
I hear it�察�and the sound as of some step
Slow´moving this way。 He is not far from us。
His plaints are louder now。
antistrophe 3
Prepare�察�my son��
NEOPTOLEMUS
For what��
CHORUS
New troubles�察�for behold he comes��
Not like the shepherd with his rural pipe
And cheerful song�察�but groaning heavily。
Either his wounded foot against some thorn
Hath struck�察�and pains him sorely�察�or perchance
He hath espied from far some ship attempting
To enter this inhospitable port��
And hence his cries to save it from destruction。
��PHILOCTETES enters�察�clad in rags。 He moves with difficulty
and is obviously suffering pain from his injured foot。��
PHILOCTETES
Say�察�welcome strangers�察�what disastrous fate
Led you to this inhospitable shore��
Nor haven safe�察�nor habitation fit
Affording ever�拭�Of what clime�察�what race��
Who are ye�拭�Speak� �If I may trust that garb��
Familiar once to me�察�ye are of Greece��
My much´loved country。 Let me hear the sound
Of your long wished´for voices。 Do not look
With horror on me�察�but in kind compassion
Pity a wretch deserted and forlorn
In this sad place。 Oh� �if ye come as friends��
Speak then�察�and answer´ hold some converse with me��
For this at least from man to man is due。
NEOPTOLEMUS
Know�察�stranger�察�first what most thou seemst to wish��
We are of Greece。
PHILOCTETES
Oh� �happiness to hear��
After so many years of dreadful silence��
How welcome was that sound� �Oh� �tell me�察�son��
What chance�察�what purpose�察�who conducted thee��
What brought thee thither�察�what propitious gale��
Who art thou�拭�Tell me all´ inform me quickly。
NEOPTOLEMUS
Native of Scyros�察�hither I return��
My name is Neoptolemus�察�the son
Of brave Achilles。 I have told thee all。
PHILOCTETES
Dear is thy country�察�and thy father dear
To me�察�thou darling of old Lycomede��
But tell me in what fleet�察�and whence thou cam'st。
NEOPTOLEMUS
From Troy。
PHILOCTETES
From Troy�拭�I think thou wert not with us
When first our fleet sailed forth。
NEOPTOLEMUS
Wert thou then there��
Or knowst thou aught of that great enterprise��
PHILOCTETES
Know you not then the man whom you behold��
NEOPTOLEMUS
How should I know whom I had never seen��
PHILOCTETES
Have you ne'er heard of me�察�nor of my name��
Hath my sad story never reached your ear��
NEOPTOLEMUS
Never。
PHILOCTETES
Alas� �how hateful to the gods��
How very poor a wretch must I be then��
That Greece should never hear of woes like mine��
But they who sent me hither�察�they concealed them��
And smile triumphant�察�whilst my cruel wounds
Grow deeper still。 O�察�sprung from great Achilles��
Behold before thee Poeas' wretched son��
With whom�察�a chance but thou hast heard�察�remain
The dreadful arrows of renowned Alcides��
E'en the unhappy Philoctetes´ him
Whom the Atreidae and the vile Ulysses
Inhuman left�察�distempered as I was
By the envenomed serpent's deep´felt wound。
Soon as they saw that�察�with long toil oppressed��
Sleep had o'ertaken me on the hollow rock��
There did they leave me when from Chrysa's shore
They bent their fatal course�察�a little food
And these few rags were all they would bestow。
Such one day be their fate� �Alas� �my son��
How dreadful�察�thinkst thou�察�was that waking to me��
When from my sleep I rose and saw them not��
How did I weep� �and mourn my wretched state��
When not a ship remained of all the fleet
That brought me here´ no kind companion left
To minister or needful food or balm
To my sad wounds。 On every side I looked��
And nothing saw but woe�察�of that indeed
Measure too full。 For day succeeded day��
And still no comfort came�察�myself alone
Could to myself the means of life afford��
In this poor grotto。 On my bow I lived��
The winged dove�察�which my sharp arrow slew��
With pain I brought into my little hut��
And feasted there�察�then from the broken ice
I slaked my thirst�察�or crept into the wood
For useful fuel�察�from the stricken flint
I drew the latent spark�察�that warms me still
And still revives。 This with my humble roof
Preserve me�察�son。 But�察�oh� �my wounds remain。
Thou seest an island desolate and waste��
No friendly port nor hopes of gain to tempt��
Nor host to welcome in the traveller��
Few seek the wild inhospitable shore。
By adverse winds�察�sometimes th' unwilling guests��
As well thou mayst suppose�察�were hither driven��
But when they came�察�they only pitied me��
Gave me a little food�察�or better garb
To shield me from the cold�察�in vain I prayed
That they would bear me to my native soil��
For none would listen。 Here for ten long years
Have I remained�察�whilst misery and famine
Keep fresh my wounds�察�and double my misfortune。
This have th' Atreidae and Ulysses done��
And may the gods with equal woes repay them��
LEADER OF THE CHORUS
O�察�son of Poeas� �well might those�察�who came
And saw thee thus�察�in kind compassion weep��
I too must pity thee´ I can no more。
NEOPTOLEMUS
I can bear witness to thee�察�for I know
By sad experience what th' Atreidae are��
And what Ulysses。
PHILOCTETES
Hast thou suffered then��
And dost thou hate them too��
NEOPTOLEMUS
Oh� �that these hands
Could vindicate my wrongs� �Mycenae then
And Sparta should confess that Scyros boasts
Of sons as brave and valiant as their own。
PHILOCTETES
O noble youth� �But wherefore cam'st thou hither��
Whence this resentment��
NEOPTOLEMUS
I will tell thee all��
If I can bear to tell it。 Know then�察�soon
As great Achilles died´
PHILOCTETES
Oh�察�stay�察�my son��
Is then Achilles dead��
NEOPTOLEMUS
He is�察�and not
By mortal hand�察�but by Apollo's shaft
Fell glorious。
PHILOCTETES
Oh� �most worthy of each other��
The slayer and the slain� �Permit me�察�son��
To mourn his fate�察�ere I attend to thine。
NEOPTOLEMUS
Alas� �thou needst not weep for others' woes��
Thou hast enough already of thy own。
PHILOCTETES
'Tis very true�察�and therefore to thy tale。
NEOPTOLEMUS
Thus then it was。 Soon as Achilles died��
Phoenix�察�the guardian of his tender years��
Instant sailed forth�察�and sought me out at Scyros��
With him the wary chief Ulysses came。
They told me then ��or true or false I know not����
My father dead�察�by me�察�and me alone
Proud Troy must fall。 I yielded to their prayers��
I hoped to see at least the dear remains
Of him whom living I had long in vain
Wished to behold。 Safe at Sigeum's port
Soon we arrived。 In crowds the numerous host
Thronged to embrace me�察�called the gods to witness
In me once more they saw their loved Achilles
To life restored�察�but he�察�alas� �was gone。
I shed the duteous tear�察�then sought my friends
Th' Atreidae friends I thought 'em� �claimed the arms
Of my dead father�察�and what else remained
His late possession�此�when´ O cruel words��
And wretched I to hear them´ thus they answered��
;Son of Achilles�察�thou in vain demandst
Those arms already to Ulysses given��
The rest be thine。; I wept。 ;And is it thus�察�
Indignant I replied�察 �ye dare to give
My right away�拭─ �Know�察�boy�察─�Ulysses cried��
;That right was mine。 and therefore they bestowed
The boon on me�此�me who preserved the arms��
And him who bore them too。; With anger fired
At this proud speech�察�I threatened all that rage
Could dictate to me if he not returned them。
Stung with my words�察�yet calm�察�he answered me��
;Thou wert not with us�察�thou wert in a place
