                                                        antistrophe 7

    And thou�察�O maiden´goddess chaste and pure´
            Queen of the inner fane´
      Look of thy grace on me�察�O Artemis��
        Thy willing suppliant´thine�察�thine it is�撮�
      Who from the lustful onslaught fled secure��
        To grant that I too without stain
      The shelter of thy purity may gain��

                                                            refrain 2

      Grant that henceforth unstained as heretofore
        I may escape the forced embrace
        Of those proud children of the race
            That sacred Io bore��

                                                            strophe 8

            Yet if this may not be��
        We�察�the dark race sun´smitten�察�we
            Will speed with suppliant wands
    To Zeus who rules below�察�with hospitable hands
      Who welcomes all the dead from all the lands��
    Yea�察�by our own hands strangled�察�we will go��
    Spurned by Olympian gods�察�unto the gods below��

                                                            refrain 3

            Zeus�察�hear and save��
    The searching�察�poisonous hate�察�that Io vexed and drave��
        Was of a goddess�此�well I know
        The bitter ire�察�the wrathful woe
            Of Hera�察�queen of heaven´
    A storm�察�a storm her breath�察�whereby we yet are driven��

                                                        antistrophe 8

            Bethink thee�察�what dispraise
        Of Zeus himself mankind will raise��
    If now he turn his face averted from our cries��
    If now�察�dishonoured and alone��
    The ox´horned maiden's race shall be undone��
    Children of Epaphus�察�his own begotten son´
    Zeus�察�listen from on high� �to thee our prayers arise。

                                                            refrain 3

            Zeus�察�hear and save��
    The searching poisonous hate�察�that lo vexed and drave��
        Was of a goddess�此�well I know
        The bitter ire�察�the wrathful woe
            Of Hera�察�queen of heaven´
    A storm�察�a storm her breath�察�whereby we yet are driven��

    ��After the CHORUS has finished its song and dance�察�DANAUS
        comes forward。��

  DANAUS
    Children�察�be wary´wary he with whom
    Ye come�察�your trusty sire and steersman old��
    And that same caution hold I here on land��
    And bid you hoard my words�察�inscribing them
    On memory's tablets。 Lo�察�I see afar
    Dust�察�voiceless herald of a host�察�arise��
    And hark�察�within their griding sockets ring
    Axles of hurrying wheels� �I see approach��
    Borne in curved cars�察�by speeding horses drawn��
    A speared and shielded band。 The chiefs�察�perchance。
    Of this their land are hitherward intent
    To look on us�察�of whom they yet have heard
    By messengers alone。 But come who may��
    And come he peaceful or in ravening wrath
    Spurred on his path�察�'twere best�察�in any case��
    Damsels�察�to cling unto this altar´mound
    Made sacred to their gods of festival�察�
    A shrine is stronger than a tower to save��
    A shield that none may cleave。 Step swift thereto��
    And in your left hands hold with reverence
    The white´crowned wands of suppliance�察�the sign
    Beloved of Zeus�察�compassion's lord�察�and speak
    To those that question you�察�words meek and low
    And piteous�察�as beseems your stranger state��
    Clearly avowing of this flight of yours
    The bloodless cause�察�and on your utterance
    See to it well that modesty attend��
    From downcast eyes�察�from brows of pure control��
    Let chastity look forth�察�nor�察�when ye speak��
    Be voluble nor eager´they that dwell
    Within this land are sternly swift to chide。
    And be your words submissive�此�heed this well��
    For weak ye are�察�outcasts on stranger lands��
    And froward talk beseems not strengthless hands。
  LEADER OF THE CHORUS
    O father�察�warily to us aware
    Thy words are spoken�察�and thy wisdom's hest
    My mind shall hoard�察�with Zeus our sire to aid。
  DANAUS
    Even so´with gracious aspect let him aid。
  LEADER
    Fain were I now to seat me by thy side´
  DANAUS
    Now dally not�察�but put our thought in act。
  LEADER
    Zeus�察�pity our distress�察�or e'er we die。
  DANAUS
    If so he will�察�your toils to joy will turn。
  LEADER
    Lo�察�on this shrine�察�the semblance of a bird。
  DANAUS
    Zeus' bird of dawn it is�察�invoke the sign。
  LEADER
    Thus I invoke the saving rays of morn。
  DANAUS
    Next�察�bright Apollo�察�exiled once from heaven。
  LEADER
    The exiled god will pity our exile。
  DANAUS
    Yea�察�may he pity�察�giving grace and aid。
  LEADER
    Whom next invoke I�察�of these other gods��
  DANAUS
    Lo�察�here a trident�察�symbol of a god。
  LEADER
    Who gave sea´safety�察�may he bless on land��
  DANAUS
    This next is Hermes�察�carved in Grecian wise。
  LEADER
    Then let him herald help to freedom won。
  DANAUS
    Lastly�察�adore this altar consecrate
    To many lesser gods in one�察�then crouch
    On holy ground�察�a flock of doves that flee��
    Scared by no alien hawks�察�a kin not kind��
    Hateful�察�and fain of love more hateful still��
    Foul is the bird that rends another bird��
    And foul the men who hale unwilling maids��
    From sire unwilling�察�to the bridal bed。
    Never on earth�察�nor in the lower world��
    Shall lewdness such as theirs escape the ban��
    There too�察�if men say right�察�a God there is
    Who upon dead men turns their sin to doom��
    To final doom。 Take heed�察�draw hitherward��
    That from this hap your safety ye may win。
    ��The KING OF ARGOS enters�察�followed by his attendants and
        soldiers。��
  THE KING OF ARGOS
    Speak´of what land are ye�拭�No Grecian band
    Is this to whom I speak�察�with Eastern robes
    And wrappings richly dight�此�no Argive maid��
    No woman in all Greece such garb doth wear��
    This too gives marvel�察�how unto this land��
    Unheralded�察�unfriended�察�without guide��
    And without fear�察�ye came�拭�yet wands I see��
    True sign of suppliance�察�by you laid down
    On shrines of these our gods of festival。
    No land but Greece can rede such signs aright。
    Much else there is�察�conjecture well might guess��
    But let words teach the man who stands to hear。
  LEADER
    True is the word thou spakest of my garb��
    But speak I unto thee as citizen��
    Or Hermes' wandbearer�察�or chieftain king��
  THE KING OF ARGOS
    For that�察�take heart and answer without fear。
    I am Pelasgus�察�ruler of this land��
    Child of Palaichthon�察�whom the earth brought forth��
    And�察�rightly named from me�察�the race who reap
    This country's harvests are Pelasgian called。
    And o'er the wide and westward´stretching land��
    Through which the lucent wave of Strymon flows��
    I rule�察�Perrhaebia's land my boundary is
    Northward�察�and Pindus' further slopes�察�that watch
    Paeonia�察�and Dodona's mountain ridge。
    West�察�east�察�the limit of the washing seas
    Restrains my rule´the interspace is mine。
    But this whereon we stand is Apian land��
    Styled so of old from the great healer's name��
    For Apis�察�coming from Naupactus' shore
    Beyond the strait�察�child of Apollo's self
    And like him seer and healer�察�cleansed this land
    From man´devouring monsters�察�whoin the earth��
    Stained with pollution of old bloodshedding��
    Brought forth in malice�察�beasts of ravening jaws��
    A grisly throng of serpents manifold。
    And healings of their hurt�察�by knife and charm��
    Apis devised�察�unblamed of Argive men��
    And in their prayers found honour�察�for reward。
    ´Lo�察�thou hast heard the tokens that I give��
    Speak now thy race�察�and tell a forthright tale��
    In sooth�察�this people loves not many words。
  LEADER
    Short is my word and clear。 Of Argive race
    We come�察�from her�察�the ox´horned maiden who
    Erst bare the sacred child。 My word shall give
    Whate'er can stablish this my soothfast tale。
  THE KING OF ARGOS
    O stranger maids�察�I may not trust this word��
    That ye have share in this our Argive race。
    No likeness of our country do ye bear��
    But semblance as of Libyan womankind。
    Even such a stock by Nilus' banks might grow��
    Yea�察�and the Cyprian stamp�察�in female forms��
    Shows�察�to the life�察�what males impressed the same。
    And�察�furthermore�察�of roving Indian maids
    Whose camping´grounds by Aethiopia lie��
    And camels burdened even as mules�察�and bearing
    Riders�察�as horses bear�察�mine ears have heard��
    And tales of flesh´devouring mateless maids
    Called Amazons�此�to these�察�if bows ye bare��
    I most had deemed you like。 Speak further yet��
    That of your Argive birth the truth I learn。
  LEADER
    Here in this Argive land´so runs the tale´
    Io was priestess once of Hera's fane。
  THE KING OF ARGOS
    Yea�察�truth it is�察�and far this word prevails��
    Is't said that Zeus with mortal mingled love��
  LEADER
    Ay�察�and that Hera that embrace surmised。
  THE KING OF ARGOS
    How issued then this strife of those on high��
  LEADER
    By Hera's will�察�a heifer she became。
  THE KING OF ARGOS
    Held Zeus aloof then from the horned beast��
  LEADER
    'Tis said�察�he loved��
