  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��

                                                            strophe 3

        No devastating curse of fell disease
             This city seize��
        No clamour of the State arouse to war
             Ares�察�from whom afar
        Shrinketh the lute�察�by whom the dances fail´
             Ares�察�the lord of wail。
        Swarm far aloof from Argos' citizens
             All plague and pestilence��
        And may the Archer´God our children spare��

                                                        antistrophe 3

        May Zeus with foison and with fruitfulness
            The land's each season bless��
        And�察�quickened with Heaven's bounty manifold��
            Teem grazing flock and fold。
        Beside the altars of Heaven's hallowing
            Loud let the minstrels sing��
    And from pure lips float forth the harp´led strain in air��

                                                            strophe 4

        And let the people's voice�察�the power
        That sways the State�察�in danger's hour
            Be wary�察�wise for all��
        Nor honour in dishonour hold��
        But´ere the voice of war be bold´
        Let them to stranger peoples grant
        Fair and unbloody covenant´
        Justice and peace withal��

                                                        antistrophe 4

        And to the Argive powers divine
        The sacrifice of laurelled kine��
            By rite ancestral�察�pay。
        Among three words of power and awe��
        Stands this�察�the third�察�the mighty law´
        Your gods�察�your fathers deified��
        Ye shall adore。 Let this abide
            For ever and for aye。
  DANAUS
    Dear children�察�well and wisely have ye prayed��
    I bid you now not shudder�察�though ye hear
    New and alarming tidings from your sire。
    From this high place beside the suppliants' shrine
    The bark of our pursuers I behold��
    By divers tokens recognized too well。
    Lo�察�the spread canvas and the hides that screen
    The gunwale�察�lo�察�the prow�察�with painted eyes
    That seem her onward pathway to descry��
    Heeding too well the rudder at the stern
    That rules her�察�coming for no friendly end。
    And look�察�the seamen´all too plain their race´
    Their dark limbs gleam from out their snow´white garb��
    Plain too the other barks�察�a fleet that comes
    All swift to aid the purpose of the first��
    That now�察�with furled sail and with pulse of oars
    Which smite the wave together�察�comes aland。
    But ye�察�be calm�察�and�察�schooled not scared by fear��
    Confront this chance�察�be mindful of your trust
    In these protecting gods。 And I will hence��
    And champions who shall plead your cause aright
    Will bring unto your side。 There come perchance
    Heralds or envoys�察�eager to lay hand
    And drag you captive hence�察�yet fear them not��
    Foiled shall they be。 Yet well it were for you
    ��If�察�ere with aid I come�察�I tarry long��
    Not by one step this sanctuary to leave。
    Farewell�察�fear nought�此�soon shall the hour be born
    When he that scorns the gods shall rue his scorn。
  CHORUS ��chanting��
    Ah�察�but I shudder�察�father� �ah�察�even now��
    Even as I speak�察�the swift´winged ships draw nigh��

                                                            strophe 1

    I shudder�察�I shiver�察�I perish with fear��
    Overseas though I fled��
    Yet nought it avails�察�my pursuers are near��
  DANAUS
    Children�察�take heart�察�they who decreed to aid
    Thy cause will arm for battle�察�well I ween。
  CHORUS
    But desperate is Aegyptus' ravening race��
    With fight unsated�察�thou too know'st it well。

                                                        antistrophe 1

    In their wrath they o'ertake us�察�the prow is deep´dark
          In the which they have sped��
    And dark is the bench and the crew of the bark��
  DANAUS
    Yea but a crew as stout they here shall find��
    And arms well steeled beneath a noon´day sun。
  CHORUS
    Ah yet�察�O father�察�leave us not forlorn��
    Alone�察�a maid is nought�察�a strengthless arm。

                                                            strophe 2

    With guile they pursue me�察�with counsel malign��
            And unholy their soul��
    And as ravens they seize me�察�unheeding the shrine��
  DANAUS
    Fair will befall us�察�children�察�in this chance��
    If thus in wrath they wrong the gods and you。
  CHORUS
    Alas�察�nor tridents nor the sanctity
    Of shrines will drive them�察�O my sire�察�from us��

                                                        antistrophe 2
    Unholy and daring and cursed is their ire��
            Nor own they control
    Of the gods�察�but like jackals they glut their desire��
  DANAUS
    Ay�察�but Come wolf�察�flee jackal�察�saith the saw��
    Nor can the flax´plant overbear the corn。
  LEADER OF THE CHORUS
    Lustful�察�accursed�察�monstrous is their will
    As of beasts ravening´'ware we of their power
  DANAUS
    Look you�察�not swiftly puts a fleet to sea��
    Nor swiftly to its moorings�察�long it is
    Or e'er the saving cables t
